When people search online, they leave a trail that remains stored on the central computers of firms such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. Analyzing what we're looking for on the Web can offer a remarkable (41) into our anxieties and enthusiasms. UK writer and Internet expert John Battelle wrote on his blog, "This can tell us (42) things about who we are and what we want as a (43) ." Google's experimental service Google Trends, for example, compares the numbers of people searching for different words and phrases from 2004 to the present. According to these graphs, sometimes people's interests are obviously (44) the news agenda: when the Spice Girls announce a reunion, there's an immediate (45) to find out more about them. Other results are strikingly seasonal: people go shopping online for coats in winter and short pants in summer.

The most fascinating possibility is that search data might help (46) people's behavior. When we search online for a certain brand of stereo system, we are surely indicating we're more (47) to buy that brand.

Perhaps we search for a political candidate's name when we are thinking about (48) him or her. Maybe we even search for "stock market crash" or "recession" just before we start (49) our investments. This information could clearly be useful to a smart marketer--it's already how Google decides which (50) to show on its search results pages--or to a political campaign manager.

PART Ⅳ

READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Passage One

New York's WCBS puts it in a way that just can't be better expressed: "It was an accident waiting to happen."

15-year-old Alexa Longueira was wandering along the street in Staten Island, obliviously tapping text messages into her phone as she walked. Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path, and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive "really gross, shocking and scary."

It's not all Longueira's fault. The manhole shouldn't have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been set up near the work site.

A worker with New York's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident.

Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is certainly at fault for failing to secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?

Detachment from one's environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem--and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involving distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.

Following a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?

What interested me, at least, is the end of the stow above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewage. But since other things are not reported as lost, I'm guessing she appears to have managed to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.

51. By "It was an accident waiting to happen" , New York's WCBS meant that

______.

A. the accident should have been avoidable

B. this kind of accidents happen frequently

C. somebody was glad to see what would happen

D. an open manhole is sure a trap for careless pedestrians

52. When the girl fell into the open manhole, she ______.

A. was seriously hurt

B. was frightened

C. took a bath in the raw sewage

D. cried help to the DEP worker

53. According to the author, who was to blame for the accident?

A. The girl herself.

B. The DEP worker.

C. Both of them.

D. Nobody.

54. According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?

A. Talking on a cell phone while driving.

B. Text messaging while walking across a street.

C. Operating music players while driving.

D. Operating game players while walking across a street.

55. The phrase "in the wake of"(Para.5) is closest in meaning to "______".

A. in view of

B. on condition of

C. as far as

D. with regard to

56. The author found it funny that the girl had ______.

A. lost a shoe in the sewage in the accident

B. reported nothing lost after the accident

C. got a firm hold of her phone during the accident

D. managed to keep herself upright in the manhole

Passage Two

According to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit.

Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased.

Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group.

Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work causes much bigger fluctuations in glucose(葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking.

The researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose--the brain's fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body.

Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such "brain food" is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consuming fewer calories overall leads to sharper brains and longer life, and most researchers agree that the findings apply, in general, to humans.

And, of course, eating more can make you fat.

"Caloric overcompensation following intellectual work, combined with the fact that we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries," said lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. "This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature," the researcher concluded.

57. The passage mainly tells us that ______.

A. consuming fewer calories can lead to sharper brains

B. thinking consumed more calories than resting

C. resting more can make people fat

D. brain cells need more energy than other cells in the body

58. It is implied that to avoid obesity, people who have to sit long should ______.

A. think more and eat less

B. increase the intake of vitamins

C. skip some meals

D. eat less potatoes

59. The word "stark" in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to "______".

A. negative

B. obscure

C. absolute

D. ambiguous

60. According to the research, which of the following activities consumed the most calories?

A. Relaxing in a sitting position.

B. Reading professional books.

C. Summarizing a text.

D. Completing tests on the computer.

61. According to the passage, eating less may make people ______.

A. smarter

B. less intelligent

C. more emotional

D. live a shorter life

62. One of the reasons for the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries is that in these countries ______.

A. people take different exercises

B. fewer people watch their weight

C. fewer people hold physical jobs

D. foods are much cheaper

Passage Three

One of the simple pleasures of a lazy summer day is to be able to enjoy a refreshing slice of watermelon either at the beach, at a picnic, or fresh from the farmer's market. Delicious and nutritious, watermelon is one of those guilt-free foods we can all enjoy: one cup of watermelon packs only about 50 calories! Watermelons are not only cooling treats for when the mercury starts to rise; they are also loaded with healthy nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene (番茄红素 ), and etc. Vitamins A and C and lycopene are antioxidants, which are substances that work to help get rid of the harmful effects of substances.

Research has suggested that a diet high in fruits and vegetables that have plenty of antioxidants can reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers, and some other dangerous diseases. A cup of watermelon provides 25% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C and 6% of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. Additionally, researchers have found that lycopene, a nutrient most traditionally associated with tomatoes, is found in equal or greater quantities in watermelon. Watermelons also provide significant amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B1, both of which are necessary for energy production. In combination with the minerals and vitamins already described, these B vitamins add to the high nutrient richness of watermelon. Due to its high water content (watermelon is 92% water by weight) and low calorie count, watermelon is a good choice to satisfy your hunger while you try to eat a healthy diet. Think of them as nature's answer to the heavily marketed "vitamin water" craze.

Besides the textured, watery flesh of the fruit, watermelon seeds are also widely eaten as a snack. They are rich in iron and protein and are often pressed for oil or roasted and seasoned.

So if you are planning on dining outdoor this summer, or simply looking for a quick and convenient refreshment to serve to unexpected company or reckless children, reach for watermelon. The kids will enjoy its crisp taste and messy juices, the adults will enjoy its refreshing flavors, and everyone will benefit from its nutritious value.

63. We don't feel guilt even if we eat more watermelon because ______.

A. it is delicious

B. it is nutritious

C. it contains low calories

D. it contains antioxidants

64. The phrase "when the mercury starts to rise" (Para. 1) probably means "______".

A. in summer evenings

B. on sunny days

C. when people are thirsty

D. when it is getting hot

65. How many cups of watermelon can satisfy the daily need for vitamin C?

A. 1.

B. 2.

C. 3.

D. 4.

66. By saying "Think of them as nature's answer to the heavily marketed" vitamin water "craze", the author means ______.

A. watermelon can take the place of vitamins

B. with watermelon, people don't have to buy vitamin water

C. natural foods are much better than the manufactured ones

D. the vitamin water has been over-advertised

67. Watermelon seeds are often ______.

A. fried in oil

B. stored for seasons

C. prepared with spice

D. pressed before being cooked

68. The best title of the passage is ______.

A. Watermelon--the Most Enjoyable Refreshment

B. The Wonders of Watermelon

C. The Nutrients in Watermelon

D. Watermelon--the Best Summer Food for Children

Passage Four

Initial voyages into space introduced questions scientists had never before considered. Could an astronaut swallow food in zero gravity? To keep things simple, astronauts on the Project Mercury ate foods squeezed out of tubes. It was like serving them baby food in a toothpaste container.

But these early tube meals were flavorless, and astronauts dropped too many pounds. "We know that astronauts have lost weight in every American and Russian manned flight," wrote NASA scientists Malcolm Smith in 1969. "We don't know why." Feeding people in space was not as easy as it looked.

Floating around in space isn't as relaxing as it might sound. Astronauts expend a lot of energy and endure extreme stresses on their bodies. Their dietary requirements are therefore different from those of their gravity-bound counterparts on Earth. For example, they need extra calcium to compensate for bone loss. 'A low-salt diet helps slow the process, but there are no refrigerators in space, and salt is often used to help preserve foods," says Vickie Kloeris of NASA. "We have to be very careful of that." By the Apollo missions, NASA had developed a nutritionally balanced menu with a wide variety of options. Of course, all the items were freeze-dried or heat- treated to kill bacteria, and they didn't look like regular food.

Today, the most elaborate outer-space meals are consumed in the International Space Station (ISS), where astronauts enjoy everything from steak to chocolate cake. The ISS is a joint venture between the U.S. and Russia, and diplomatic guidelines dictate the percentage of food an astronaut must eat from each country. NASA's food laboratory has 185 different menu items, Russia offers around 100, and when Japan sent up its first crew member in 2008, about 30 dishes came with him. Due to dietary restrictions and storage issues, astronauts still can't eat whatever they want whenever they feel like it.

In 2008, NASA astronaut and ISS crew member Sandra Magnus became the first person to try to cook a meal in space. It took her over an hour to cook onions and garlic in the space station's food warmer, but she managed to create a truly delicious dish: grilled tuna (金枪鱼) in a lemon-garlic-ginger sauce---eaten from a bag, of course.

69. Which of the following is true about the early space meals?

A. They had to be eaten from a bag.

B. They tasted better than they looked.

C. They could not make eating as easy as possible.

D. They were not nutritious enough for astronauts.

70. It seems that astronauts' weight loss ______.

A. was an unusual problem among astronauts

B. was what puzzled the early scientists

C. caused new problems in space flights

D. drew the attention of the general public

71. According to Vickie Kloeris, serving a low-salt diet in space ______.

A. is easier said than done

B. is not absolutely necessary

C. has worked as expected

D. will be the future trend

72. In the International Space Station,______.

A. there is enough space to store enough foods for astronauts

B. there is a selection of flavored foods from a dozen countries

C. astronauts in general prefer foods from their own countries

D. astronauts' need to eat their favorite foods can't always be met

73. It can be learned that Sandra Magnus' cooking in space ______.

A. left much to be desired

B. wasn't worth the effort

C. was quite satisfactory

D. has inspired the others

74. The passage mainly introduces ______.

A. the variety of food options in space

B. the dietary need of astronauts in space

C. the problems of living in the space station

D. the improvement of food offered in space

Passage Five

Is it possible to be both fat and fit--not just fit enough to exercise, but fit enough to live as long as someone a lot lighter? Not according to a 2004 study from the Harvard School of Public Health which looked at 115,000 nurses aged between 30 and 55. Compared with women who were both thin and active, obese (overweight) but active women had a mortality rate that was 91% higher. Though far better than the inactive obese (142% higher), they were still worse off than the inactive lean (5% higher). A similar picture emerged in 2008 after researchers examined 39,000 women with an average age of 54. Compared with active women of normal weight, the active but overweight were 54% more likely to develop heart disease.

That's settled, then. Or is it? Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina, describes the official focus on obesity as an "obsession ... and it's not grounded in solid data".

Blair's most fascinating study, in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2007, took 2,600 people aged 60 and above, of various degrees of fatness, and tested their fitness on the exercise device, rather than asking them to quantify it themselves. This is an unusually rigorous approach, he claims, since many rival surveys ask participants to assess their own fitness, or ignore it as a factor altogether.

"There is an 'association' between obesity and fitness," he agrees, "but it is not perfect. As you progress towards overweight, the percentage of individuals who are fit does go down. But here's a shock: among class Ⅱ obese individuals [with a body mass index between 35 and 39.9], about 40% or 45% are still fit. You simply cannot tell by looking whether someone is fit or not. When we look at these mortality rates in fat

people who are fit, we see that the harmful effect of fat just disappears: their death rate during the next decade is half that of the normal weight people who are unfit." One day--probably about a hundred years from now--this fat-but-fit question will be answered without the shadow of a doubt. In the meantime, is there anything that all the experts agree on? Oh yes: however much your body weighs, you'll live longer if you move it around a bit.

75. It can be learned that the 2008 research ______.

A. posed a challenge to the 2004 study

B. confirmed the findings of the 2004 study

C. solved the problems left behind by the 2004 study

D. had a different way of thinking from the 2004 study

76. Steven Blair probably describes the previous studies as ______.

A. unreliable

B. uncreative

C. unrealistic

D. untraditional

77. The major difference between Blair's study and the previous research is that

______.

A. Blair excluded the participants' fitness as a factor

B. Blair guessed the participants' fitness after weighing them

C. Blair required the participants to assess their own fitness

D. Blair evaluated the participants' fitness through physical tests

78. Blair's study proves that ______.

A. the weight problem should be taken seriously

B. weight and fitness are strongly connected

C. it is possible to be both fat and fit

D. fat people have a higher death rate

79. It can be seen from the description of these studies that the author ______.

A. shows no preference for any researcher

B. finds no agreement between the researchers

C. obviously favors the Blair study

D. obviously favors the Harvard study

80. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.

A. call on people to pay attention to weight problem

B. present the different findings of various weight studies

C. compare the strength and weakness of different studies

D. offer suggestions on how to remain fit and live longer

PAPER TWO

PART Ⅴ

TRANSLATION

Section A

Directions: Put the following paragraph into Chinese. Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer Sheet Ⅱ.

The reason for not classifying carbon dioxide as a pollutant is that it is a natural component of the atmosphere and needed by plants to carry out biological synthesis. No one would argue that carbon dioxide is a necessary component of the atmosphere any more than one would argue the fact that Vitamin D is necessary in the human diet. However, excess intake of Vitamin D can be extremely toxic. Living systems, be they an ecosystem or an organism, require that a delicate balance be maintained between certain compounds in order for the system to function normally. When the excess presence of one substance threatens the wellbeing of an ecosystem, it becomes toxic despite the fact that it is required in small quantities.

之所以不把二氧化碳列为污染物，是因为二氧化碳是大气的天然成分，植物进行生物合成需要二氧化碳。正如人们普遍认为人的饮食不可缺少维生素D一样，也都认为二氧化碳是大气不可缺少的成分。但是摄入过多的维生素D会有很大的副作用。生命系统，不论是生态系统还是生物，都需要在某些化合物之

间保持微妙的平衡，以确保系统功能正常。尽管少量的某种物质是必要的，但当该物质过量出现威胁生态系统的健康时，就具有了毒副作用。

Directions: In this section you will hear two mini-talks. At the end of each talk, there will be some questions. Both the talks and the questions will be read to you only once.

During the pause, you must choose the best answer from the four choices given by marking the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Mini-talk One

Oprah Winfrey is not only famous but powerful in the entertainment industry. Her TV talk show was first seen locally in Chicago in 1984. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" went national two years later and became a huge hit.

She has announced plans to end the show in September of 2011 after 25 years.

This year's Forbes magazine list of the world's richest people estimated her wealth at almost 2.5 billion dollars.

She founded the Oxygen media company, the Oprah's Angel Network charity and the Harpo film, television and radio production company. She also started O, the Oprah Magazine, and the list goes on. She has starred in several films and helped launch entertainment careers.

Oprah is getting more attention right now because of a new book. The writer, Kitty Kelley, is known for writing biographies of famous people without their approval. Oprah Winfrey was born in the small town of Kosciusko, Mississippi. She has said that her family was very poor and that she had cockroaches for pets. Kitty Kelley says some family members have disputed those statements.

Oprah Winfrey has not commented on the claims in the book.

As a teenager she went to live with the man she considers her father. Vernon Winfrey was supportive of her and her education. She became an excellent student and popular among her classmates.

Oprah Winfrey has said she is who she is today because of Vernon Winfrey. She went on to Tennessee State University where she earned a degree in speech and performing arts.

Oprah Winfrey became engaged to Stedman Graham in 1992 but they have not married.

Question 10: When did "The Oprah Winfrey Show" become nationally popular? Question 11: How much was Oprah Winfrey's estimated wealth?

Question 12: To whom does Oprah Winfrey owe her success?

Mini-talk Two

Central Park in New York City covers an area of more than 340 hectares. It was the first public park built in the United States.

In 1958, a design competition was held to find the best idea for planning this huge area in the center of New York City. The winners were two landscape designers, American Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux from Britain.

It was not easy to create this park. It may look like a natural environment of lakes and woodlands, but it was entirely built by human labor.

Workers moved millions of cubic meters of stone and earth to clear the area. They brought in more than 14,000 cubic meters of fertile soil from New Jersey to make it possible to grow trees and other plants.

It took 15 years to complete the project. Central Park was a huge success and helped create a movement across the United States for creating public gardens.

Today, the park is managed by the Central Park Conservancy under an agreement with the city of New York. The Conservancy raises about 85% of the park's 27 million dollar yearly budget.

Here are a few facts that help show just how big--and busy--Central Park is. It contains seven kilometers of paths for horseback riding and about 93 kilometers of walking paths. When you get tired from all that walking, there are more than 9,000 benches where you can sit down.

There are 21 playgrounds for children as well as areas to play basketball, baseball, football and even chess. There is also a zoo. And, every summer, visitors can watch plays by William Shakespeare in an outdoor theater. About 25 million people visit Central Park each year to enjoy its many sights and activities.

The park is also important for natural life. It contains more than 26,000 trees. And hundreds of kinds of birds have been sighted in the park which serves as a stopping area for birds as they fly to other places.

Question 13: What is true about Central Park in New York City?

Question 14: How long are the walking paths in Central Park?

Question 15: What games can the children play in the park?

Section C

Directions: In this section you will hear a short lecture. Listen to the recording and complete the notes about the lecture. You will hear the recording twice. After the recording you are asked to write down your answers on the Answer Sheet. You now have 25 seconds to read the notes below.

Over 50 years ago a photographic exhibit called "The Family of Man" opened in New York City. It was a popular show with critics and the public. This fall, a similar exhibit opened in Los Angeles. It was organized by the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California. The new exhibit is called "The 21st Century Family of Man."

In 1955, photographer Edward Steichen organized a collection of more than 500 pictures of and by people all over the world. The photographers were professionals and non-professionals alike.

Nick Cullen is a professor of public diplomacy at the University of Southern California. He says Steichen's exhibit brought in crowds as it traveled from country to country.

Nick Cullen said: "I think part of its success was that everybody could recognize something of themselves in the exhibit and so the Family of Man show belonged to everybody."

The collection was called "The Family of Man." It was shown first at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The show was designed to express the connections that link humans everywhere.

29-year-old photographer Paul Rockower shows his own Family of Man pictures in the new exhibit at the University of Southern California. He says it is a re-imagining of the first show with a modern touch.

Mr. Rockower has traveled and studied outside the United States since he was a teenager. He always had his camera with him. He took pictures of people, places and things around him. The exhibit presents about 70 of those images.

It is divided into several parts. In the part called "Children of Man," one photograph shows two little girls hugging in the sunlight on the street of an Asian town. In "Family of Man," a dark-haired, light-eyed woman with a bright blue head covering looks intensely at something hidden from view. In "Cities of Man," one photo shows a street light reflected in water on a stone pathway. Other parts of the exhibit include "Faith of Man" and "Wonders of Man". They include photos of the Great Wall of China and Machu Picchu in Peru.

Mr. Rockower is a graduate student of public diplomacy at the University of Southern California. He says his photographs express a common idea among all the different faces and places.

Paul Rockower said: "I think the theme that comes out is really the unity of mankind that we are all the same, the things that we share are things like family, like faith, like friendship. These are the things that are universal qualities found everywhere you go."

学位英语考试练习题(四)

学位英语考试练习题（四） Part I Reading Comprehension A teddy bear is delivered to No. 10 Downing Street after the birth of Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie’s fourth child. Britain’s baby alert is over-Cherie Blair gave birth to a boy. Mrs. Blair, 45, wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, had the baby this morning. The baby will be named Leo after the prime minister’s father, his office announced, the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces. Mother, father and the baby boy returned to 10 Downing Street-the prime minister’s official residence-after the birth, a spokesman said. The baby is the couples’ fourth child. “Cherie and the baby are absolutely fine,” Blair said today outside his Downing Street residence. “He is a gorgeous little boy. They are resting right now.” Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end. “this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said. “it was quite a struggl e, really, for Cherie.” The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton. Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m. on Saturday. The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn. He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years. News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year. After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.

Why should I want more money ?” “So you could buy a bigger boat, and catch more fish.” “So what?” “So you can hire some help and catch even more fish.” “So what?” “When you have enough money you can live a better life.
