Passage One
The man who, legend has it, escaped from an early grave when his uncle pulled him from drowning in a dirty pond is notorious for his dirty deeds but what cannot be forgotten are his achievements in the 1986 World Cup.
Forget the handball against England, feel the quality of his 50-yard solo goal in the same game and the near repeat performance in the semi-final against Belgium. The Argentina side of 1986 was
SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 2) 3 functional and hard-working but it was Maradona who fired them to the final and then set up two of the goals in their 3-2 win over West Germany in the final.
In 1990, a barely-fit Maradona fought his way to the final where the Germans took their revenge. Few people shared Diego’s post-match tears. In fact many rejoiced that such an ugly brute of a team had lost.
Eight years before, in Spain, Maradona, then newly arrived at Barcelona, disgraced himself by being sent off in a Second Phase game with Brazil. Even four years before that the 18-year-old Maradona was a source of great controversy when he was left Out of the victorious squad that won on home ground.
USA 1994 was the end for Maradona as a player. Right after the Nigeria game, he was picked for drugs-screening and tested positive for banned stimulant ephedrine (麻黄硷).He was banned from the rest of the tournament and the team fell apart, going out in the second round to Romania.

Passage Two
A material which usually keeps animals and people warm is providing an oil clean-up service for the environm ent. Wool from sheep proved to be an effective “sponge” to soak up oil from the waters of the Persian Gulf after the Gulf War in 1991. The absorbent qualities of wool were used to good effect in wool poles which swept across the surface of the water and cleaned up the oil.（加）Now the same absorbent qualities are being used by railways in the Netherlands. Wool mats produced by Rhanex Wools of New Zealand have been laid between the rails at eight major Dutch railway stations to soak up diesel oil dropping from locomotives. Dutch authorities were worried that diesel oil was seeping (渗入) through the ground into the water-table, which is used for farm irrigation and to supply drinking water. The mats can be regularly squeezed to extract the diesel oil from them, and then reused.
Similar wool mats are being used in inner city car parking lots in Sydney, Australia, to soak up oil dropping from parked cars. One parking lot owner believed that the value of his land could be reduced by oil pollution.
The environmental friendly qualities of wool are also being put to good use to protect wool itself. High value Merino sheep in Australia and Canada are wearing wool covers to protect their fleece (羊毛).
26. Which of the following is not one of wool’s advantages?
A. It has absorbent quality.
B. It could be squeezed and reused.
C. It can be used to avoid pollution.
D. It could increase the price of land.

Passage Three
Daily social relations in France have always been dominated by family ties. The family has been the focu s of the individual’s loyalty and affection, of his economic interest, and even of his legal duty. Many an older Frenchman has spent his youth in a world where he was expected to regard cousins, uncles and grandparents as more important to him than friends of his own age, and where the family’s needs and de mands were put before those of the local community or even of the State.
The main change since the war is that the focus of loyalty has been steadily narrowing from the “extended family” to the “n uclear fami ly”, i.e. the home cell of parents and children. In the rural areas the traditionally big peasant families have been losing their influence as the young drift away to the town. As property gives way to income and family management disappears, the tight network of the big family gath ering has become less necessary for the individual’s future, and also less easy to maintain. Many younger couples today prefer pleasure travelling, or a weekend cottage shared with a few friends, to the traditional big family reunions on Sundays and in August.
But old values are still there. Clan (氏族) loyalties towards more distant relatives may become weak, an adult’s ties with his own parents and even with their parents often remain remarkably strong. And if many younger people are today trying to lead more emotionally independent lives, it is often not without a sense of guilt, or an awareness of the pain it causes to their parents. This may be so in any country: it is especially sharp in France.
31. In France, people used to _________.
A. value more their families than the country
B. attach most importance to their friends
C. regard their cousins and uncles more important than their parents
D. consider the local community prior to the state
32. The “nuclear family” will not include _________.
A. father
B. mother
C. children
D. grandparents
33. The rural families are growing smaller because _________.
A. many young men and women were killed in the war
B. more and more people choose to stay single
C. more and more families have only one child
SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 2) 5
D. many young men and women are leaving the country for cities
34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The French have given up their clan loyalties to independence.
B. Family gathering has become less necessary nowadays.
C. Many younger couples spend weekends and holidays themselves or with a few friends.
D. The old values still have their influence today.
35. What does “this” in the last sentence of the passage refer to ?
A.Loyalty to the family.
B. Emotionally independence.
C. Sense of guilt.
D. Difference between old values and new values.
Passage Four
When it comes to walking off those excesses, a lengthy hike once a day will do you far more good than nipping down to (一溜烟跑) the shops every couple of hours — even if the short walks add up to the same amount of time, say exercise researchers in Britain. But walks of any length beat sitting at home with your feet up and watching television, they stress.
Some researchers in Britain reached these conclusions after putting 56 couch potatoes through an 18-week course of daily walks.
They found that longer walks produce the most beneficial changes to the composition of blood fats, but walks of any length improve the fitness of the heart.
In the study, the normally inactive subjects were divided into three roughly equal groups. The “long walkers” took a hike of between 20 and 40 minutes every day. “Intermediate walkers” had two rounds of jogging of 10 to 15 min utes, and “short walkers” did three stints of 90 to 110 minutes. The controls sat at home, as usual.
At the start and end of the 18 weeks, the health and fitness of each group were measured and it was found that the long walkers were healthiest, as measured by altered fat profiles in their blood.
At the end, each litre of blood from the long walkers contained an average 0. 05 grains less apolipoprotein (阿朴脂蛋白) II, a “bad” fat that is linked with heart disease. This was more than twice the drop seen in the intermediate walkers, and five times that in short walkers. In the controls, the level of this fat stayed the same. The drop in apolipoprotein II in the long walkers was matched by a rise in the blood level of apolipoprotein I, a “good” fat that is associated with smooth arteries.
36. According to the researchers, _________ is least beneficial to your health.
A. taking a lengthy hike once a day
B. going shopping several times every day
C. doing jogging every morning
D. sitting in the sofa watching TV every evening
37. “Couch potato” is used to refer to a kind of _________.
A. farmers
B. vegetables
C. movie-goers
D. TV viewers
38. Which of the following statement is FALSE?
A. Longer walks benefit our composition of blood fats.
B. The subjects in the study all often watch TV.
C. Only longer walks benefit our health.
D. The subjects in the study may not like exercises.
39. The subjects are divided into ________ groups.
A. 4
B. 3
C. 2
D. 1
40. Why is long walk beneficial to our heart?
A. It help us lose weight.

VI. Guided Writing
Re-employment of Laid-off Workers
Re-employment issue has emerged with large numbers of surplus laborers having been laid off. It is clear that if it is not properly solved, such a problem will affect the stability of our society.
Now the government is trying every means to provide more opportunities of re-employment. The development of the tertiary industry is of first consideration, as it offers jobs with little restrictions on sex, age or qualifications. Meanwhile, more training courses are being opened for laid-off workers to learn new skills and enhance their working capacity.
In a word, the problem is a two-way operation: government should provide more job opportunities for laid-off workers, while laid-off workers should adjust themselves to the competitive world by learning fresh knowledge and grasping new skills.

Dad said it would be an unusual present, and he was quite right.
He said, “Go to the telephone and call a ten-digit number. It must begin with 010. Got that —010? You can please yourself about the other seven figures.”
I called the number 010 *******. A few moments later I heard a man’s clear voice at the other end: the voice said, “Kikri 2975. Don Flower speaking.”
I said, “Hello, Mr. Flower. I’m Robert West, and this call to you is one of my birthday presents. I’m thirteen today …”
“Oh, that’s great. Many happy returns of the day! Where are you calling from, Robert? You soun d very clear.”
“I’m at home in London. Where are you?”
“You’re in London! Well, well —I’ve never had a call from London before. I live in Kikri, in Australia. About a hundred miles from Kikri, actually, but it’s the nearest place. I’ve got a small farm he re, with about ninety thousand sheep on it. You ought to come and visit me one day.”
“I’d like to, very much. Your farm must be very big, Mr. Flower, if you’ve got ninety thousand sheep on it.”
“Well, there may be only eighty thousand by now. I’m not too sure. There’s not a lot of food for them, you know, and two of my wells have gone dry this month. So we’ve been driving the sheep around a bit. If you go straight across the middle of my farm, it’s a hundred and ten miles. That isn’t a great size for a farm in Australia, but it’s big enough for me!”
We talked for three minutes, and it was very interesting. I gave Mr. Flower my telephone number. He promised to ring me on my birthday next year.
Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. What number does Robert West call?
12. Where does Robert West call?

Passage Two
A Chinese student went to study in England. His surname was Sun. it spelt S-U-N, just like the sun in the sky. England is a country with bad weather. The people there don’t get much sunshine in the year.
When the Chinese student arrived at London Airport, a tall England policeman with a long face opened his pass port to check the visa. The policeman was interested to find the Chinese name “Sun” in the passport. He thought it was pronounced just like the English word “Sun”. So he said to the student. “I see your name is Sun. You are wanted here.”
The Chinese student was greatly surprised because if you are wanted by the police, you must have broken a law. So he asked the policeman: “Is there anything wrong with my passport or the visa? Do I have to go back?”
“Go back?” shouted the policeman. “Now that you’re here, we’ll never let you go away.”
The young man was very surprised. He thought he was going to be arrested. He was quite sure now that he had broken a law. He asked again: “What’s happened? What have I done?”
It was only then that the policeman began to smile: “You don’t know what you’ve done, Mr. Sun? You’ve brought sunshine to England. So we don’t want you to go away.”
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What was the policeman interested in?
16. What kind of a person was that policeman?
17. What had the student thought at first?
Passage Three
The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than L3,000 a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than L50,000 a year. Of course, only few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals, like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things”. It says: “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
18. What did the word “sport” first mean?
19. How much does a professional footballer in England earn annually?
20. In what way can famous sportsmen make more money?

Passage One
E-business requires instantaneous decision-making and KM (knowledge management) has a tremendous role to play in achieving this as well as quality feedback. Real-time business without proper knowledge and feedback information quickly turns into real-time unsupervised and valueless chaos. Lack of adequate knowledge flow and coherent real-time views of a situation inevitably lead to disastrous consequences. The infamous Barings Bank operated a real-time futures business without real-time checks and balances, and did not ensure adequate quality of knowledge flows from the trading floor to controllers and managers. It was too-much-too-fast coupled with too-little-quality-feedback and insufficient understanding. There was too little real-time knowledge at hand and it turned out a spectacular disaster.
The missing link was KM. No serious e-business effort should be undertaken without considering, planning and implementing a strong KM infrastructure. Real-time knowledge must flow from those who have it to those who must be able to make the right move at the right time. And there is no time to spare. E-businesses must be equipped with interactive workflow tools and real-time business intelligence feedback in a clear and understandable format. People involved must have access to all underlying documents at all times at a snap of their fingers. Otherwise they will guess rather than make informed decisions. Or worse, in fear of making a huge mistake, people will make no decisions at all.
Take a home loan application process for example. You would most likely apply to a number of banks at the same time. They would obviously compete on pricing, but the bank that can make your credit assessment first and most effectively, process the documentation and inform you on the progress every step of the way will get your business. The rest may be stuck with less demanding, more risk-prone customers. This may affect their overall profitability, and ability to compete on price and service in the future. It could put them out of business altogether. So is there a link between e-business and KM? I surely think so.
11. According to the passage, in doing E-business, you must ____________.
A. make quick decisions
B. learn many disciplines
C. work hard
D. know how to promote yourself
12. As the author puts it, being short of _________ will lead to failure in E-business.
A. support from the government
B. sufficient knowledge flow and accurate views of the situation
C. qualified managers
D. loan from the bank
13. Barings Bank went bankrupt because _________.
A. it involved itself in the futures business
B. its manager was not an expert
C. it failed to smooth the knowledge flow and the feedback processes
D. of its slow decision-making process
14. Some managers do not make decisions because _________.
A. they are not provided with sufficient information
B. they are slow in thinking
C. they are very democratic
D. they have limited rights in the company

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge. Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______. A) worsen in modern society B) be just part of their nature C) occur when they go wild D) present at threat to the community 2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________. A) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior B) teach the dog to perform clever tricks C) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority D) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior 3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______. A) an extreme measure in obedience training B) a good way to teach the dog new tricks C) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks D) essential to solve the dog’s behavior problems 4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A) To show their willingness to obey. B) To show their affection for their masters. C) To avoid being punished. D) To win leadership of the dog pack. 5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________. A) will enjoy a better family life. B) can give the dog more freedom C) can give the dog more rewards D) will have more confidence in himself Passage Two: Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and

Unit 2Values Pair Work 1. What is the Salvation Army What does a Salvation Army bell ringer do The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization. A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who helps it collect donations. 2. What did the boy ask the writer What do you think made him raise such a question The boy asked him: Are you poor He did it simply out of confusion and curiosity. Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer. 3. How did the writer answer What does the writer's answer to the boy's question mean He said, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." This means that he was neither poor nor rich. 4. Why did the boy's mother scold him? The boy's mother scolded him because the question was socially inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor. 5. Is the writer poor or not in terms of material possessions Give facts to support your conclusion. Yes, he's. He’s economically he is poor. He lives in a small basement apartment. He doesn't even have a color TV. He falls into the lowest income category And so on. 6. Does the writer feel poor Why or why not No, the writer does not feel poor. This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods. 7. In what situation does the writer feel out of place? He feels out of place among people who ate primarily interested in material things. 8. What did the girl tell him before her visit to his basement apartment And what happened after She told him that she was interested in what's on the inside. But after he Wok her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely. 9. How ought one to understand such "a seemingly abrupt change in her priorities" It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before. 10. Can we infer from the essay what role commercials can play in society? Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary. 11. Why does the writer say "December is the time of year I feel wealthiest" Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in
