I. Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

For ages, sailors have said that it is good luck to see dolphins swimming alongside boats. Their presence meant that land was near, which would be vital information if a boat and her crew were in danger. Some dolphins have even protected shipwrecked sailors from sharks. It is no wonder that these unique and fascinating creatures have long been known as our friends.

You may think dolphins are fish, but they are actually mammals. They are related to whales and porpoises, and they evolved around 10 million years ago. Dolphins breathe air, give birth to live young, and feed them milk. They are social animals, living together in groups ranging in size of up to 12.In places rich in food, many schools can combine together to form schools of up to 1,000 dolphins.

Dolphins are thought to be intelligent animals because of their playfulness, curiosity, and quick ability to learn. They seem to communicate with each other through a combination of squeaks, whistles, and clicks. While scientists don't know what they are going on about, it is thought that dolphins are telling each other that food is nearby, or warning each other of approaching danger. Dolphins use sonar to discover an object's size, shape, and location. By sending out a series of clicks and receiving the echo that bounces off the object, they can differentiate between a shark and a boat.

Unfortunately, dolphins have faced increasing danger in recent years. Fishermen in pursuit of profitable tuna may accidentally trap dolphins in their nets, killing them in the process. These intelligent mammals of the sea deserve our protection and respect.

Passage 2

The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.

And yet, city life isn’t easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it’s long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.

One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.

This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we’re crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of s trangers. In recent years, it’s become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.

6. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?

A. The city inspires talented people.

B. The city hurts your brain.

C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.

8. People have just come to realize that_______.

A. human attention is a scarce resource

B. city life can make people very tired

C. the city is an engine of intellectual life

D. an urban environment is damaging to the brain

9. What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?

A. Nature.

B. Better treatment.

C. Experienced doctors.

D. Good medicine.

10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Different aspects (方面) of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to

an increase in self-control.

B. Small changes in urban design cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.

C. For the first time in history, the earth’s population is more urban than rural.

D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.

Passage 3

Your success in your studies will also depend upon your motivation(动机). This need or desire to achieve a certain goal can make the difference between success and failure. Motivation can come from two sources: from inside of you or from outside of you. In the first case, motivation comes from your hopes and expectations, from your desire to do something or to be someone. Study purposes that result from personal inner desires are individual, and various. If you have not already done so, you should think carefully about what you hope to gain from your studies, and why. You should set a goal and direct all your study efforts toward reaching it. A goal of this kind is important because it will determine the direction and degree of your motivation for study.

Not everyone is highly motivated from within and no one is continuously motivated from within. Fortunately there is another source of motivation:from outside. In education the most obvious kind of outside motivation is grades. For many students, course grades are an immediate, short-range motivation for study. This is one of the reasons for examinations and grades, but they must not become a goal in themselves. Grades help to motivate you from day to day, but they are only small, artificial steps to your ultimate goal. It would be wrong to set grades as your only ambition.

A textbook like this cannot provide you with motivation;that must come from yourself. But as an encouragement, it is useful to know that good study habits depend upon good motivation. And good study habits are important because they help you get more done in less time. It is not a matter of how much you study;more important is how well you study.

11. Inside motivation comes from____________.

A. your need and desire

B. your hopes and expectations

C. your desire to do something or to be someone

D. both B and C

12. Study purposes____________.

A. are different from person to person

B. are personal inner desires

C. share some common points

D. should be carefully made

13. If you haven't set a goal in your studies,____________.

A. you will most probably become a failure

B. you will never be a good student

C. you may lose direction and lack motivation

D. you won't have good study habits

14. According to the passage, why are examinations and grades necessary in education?

A. Because they can make the difference between success and failure.

B. Because they can motivate many students to study harder.

C. Because they can check what you have gained from your studies.

D. Because they are small, artificial steps to an ultimate goal.

15. If you want to be an efficient learner, you must____________.

A. have clear study purposes

B. be always motivated from both inside and outside

C. set grades as your ambition

D. have good study habits

Passage 4

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may say that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.

Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

16. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Perceiving has nothing to do with seeing.

B. Perceiving differs from seeing.

C. Seeing is closely connected to perceiving.

D. Seeing has much to do with perceiving.

17. The phrase "with four children in tow" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to "____________".

A. with four children following closely behind her

B. with four children tied to each other with a rope

C. with four children dragging a rope held by her

D. with four children dragged in a small cart

18. According to the passage, perceiving is an action ____________.

A. that tells us information through our eyes

B. that gives us senses in the mind

C. that explains what our senses tell us

D. that makes our mind different

19. The psychologists are trying to draw their conclusion____________.

A. by asking different people to tell how they perceive the same scene

B. by using a scientific approach in setting up their experiments

C. by determining how a person experiences the world around him

D. by measuring and charting the results of many experiments

20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Different people may perceive the same scene in a different way.

B. That a policeman gives a motorist a ticket means the motorist is fined.

C. No people share the same perception when they are asked to see the same scene.

D. The psychologists can control all of the factors in their experiments.

Passage 5

To understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand "the point". Americans mention it often:"Let's get right to the point", "My point is ...","What's the point of all this?"

The "point" is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people's thinking, writing, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to "make their points clear", meaning that they are supposed to write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express.

People from many other cultures have different ideas about "the point". Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating "the point" clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, "I don't think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit", a Japanese might say, "Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on." Americans value a person who "gets right to the point". Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.

The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity(模糊). The precision(精确)and directness Americans associate with "the point" cannot be achieved, at least not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.

21. By “the point”,Americans mean____________.

A. the idea or information in their mind

B. the most important idea or information

C. what they think, write and speak

D. what they wish to express

22. Compared with people from many other cultures, Americans are____________.

A. direct and honest

B. clear and talkative

C. impolite and rude

D. traditional and silent

23. A typical American seems to be ______to a typical Japanese.

A. sensitive and rude

B. insensitive but not rude

C. sensitive instead of rude

D. insensitive and even rude

24. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. You are expected to state your idea clearly when speaking to an American.

B. Telling stories to express their ideas is a traditional way of Africans.

C. Japanese often imply their disapproval with polite words.

D. Chinese and Japanese languages are hard to understand because they are not clear.

25. A conclusion can be made that____________.

A. Americans and Africans cannot communicate satisfactorily

B. Africans and Japanese cannot communicate satisfactorily

C. Misunderstanding may arise when Americans communicate with Chinese

D. Chinese and Japanese will certainly get on well with each other

Passage 6

The only certainties I’ve found in life are death and change. One is an end, the other a beginning. Change is life. Without change there would be no growth, no understanding, no relating and no surprises. We are by nature changing beings. Still, we seem to fear and resist it more than any other aspect of life.

Healthy human beings welcome the opportunity to adapt to new experiences. In fact they are quite comfortable in a constant state of change. They know about the possibility of becoming someone new each moment. Only habit and indifference prevent the rest of us from having the same outlook.

When we don’t care, or submit ourselves to patterns and routines, we begin to stagnate. We are inclined to accept the comfortable illusion that life is a series of habits and conditioned responses. In reality this is a comfort more like a disease, which leads to a kind of intellectual and emotional death. We can allow ourselves and dynamic world to go to waste. Ellen Glasgow, an American novelist, said, “The only differences between a rut(车辙)and a grave are their dimensions.”

To accept new ideas and give up old values and habits is not always comfortable. It is often easier for us to deny that there may be more appropriate, more creative possibilities for our lives. We fail to understand that when we resist potentialities, life becomes at best a continual struggle; at worst, it passes us by and we are left alone and lonely.

26. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Change is as inevitable as death.

B. Some of us fear change because it leads to death.

C. Change is characteristic of the life of human beings.

D. Death is the inevitable result of change.

27. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. All human beings want to be healthy by adapting to new experiences.

B. Some people do not welcome change as a result of habit and indifference.

C. Constant change results in comfort for some people.

D. Healthy human beings are not subjected to habit and indifference, and keep on trying to become someone new.

28. According to the passage, “The only differences between a rut and a grave are their dimensions” suggests that ______.

A. if we regard life as a series of habits and conditioned responses, our life actually ends

B. some people die a kind of intellectual and emotional death

C. death is inevitable

D. too much comfort often results in death

29. The word “stagnate” in paragraph 3 means ______.

A. stop working hard

B. stop developing

C. become weak

D. fall ill

30. The author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph is ______.

A. to tell us that if we resist change, we’ll suffer from loneliness in life

B. to show the reason why some people do not accept new ideas or give up old values and habits

C. to come to the conclusion that if we go against the law of change, it will be impossible for us to enjoy life

D. to show that it is because of our desire to seek comfort that we tend to deny our lives

Passage 7

Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr. Lissy F. Jarvik, professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at the university of California, Los Angeles, and a board member of the New Center for Aging at the Veterans Hospital. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concern 136 pairs of identical twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr. Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.

However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to complete mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr. Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only into the 30s and 40s, but into the 60s and 70s as well.

As for learning new things, and ability to remember, studies by Dr. Jarvik and others show that the old are equal to the young. It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace.

In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay (衰退), it is not necessarily a sign of a decay due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state. This depression usually can be counteracted by counseling, a medical treatment with a psychologist, which fights depression.

In American society, when an older person loses something, we tend to call him or her “senile”. But notice that when a younger person loses something, he does not blame it on senility or loss of memory. He finds some other excuse!

31. According to Dr. Jarvik’s studies, middle-aged and older persons should expect to ______.

A. remember less

B. reason better

C. learn fewer new things

D. lose little ability to remember, reason or learn

32. A long term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that the only factor that declined over the years was __________.

A. the reasoning ability

B. the psycho-motor speed

C. the decline in knowledge

D. the loss of intellectual ability

33. Both younger and older persons should realize that ____________.

A. a sign of a decay due to old age is a natural law

B. mental decay due to aging is closely related to one’s health conditions

C. a good emotional state can ensure a longer life

D. mental decay due to aging is much less common than most of us believe

34. What is the probable meaning of “counteract” from the context?

A. convinced

B. lessened

C. added

D. rewarded

35. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?

A. People, either young or old, tend to view their mental decay incorrectly.

B. With ageing, one’s emotional state is on the decline.

C. Old people are not well educated and are thus slow to pick up new things.

D. The decline of intellectual ability is usually accompanied by the drop in psycho-motor speed.

Passage 9

The old familiar song, “The Green, Green Grass of Home”, used to bring a smile, but the current drought in Florida is turning so many green lawns into burned, brown fields ready for a fire to explode from a lightning strike or careless cigarette.

The situation is serious, but there are ways to solve the problem. According to Marshall McLuhan, a famous Canadian educator, “Our age of anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s job with yesterday’s tools ― with yesterday’s concepts.”

Santa Barbara in California was faced with the same danger some years ago and the city officials called a meeting of the city engineers and water department to find new tools ― new concepts to save lawns.

The solution was gray water. The term gray water is given to the water we use when we wash our hands at the sink, take showers, wash clothes, etc. That water is going into the sewer (下水道) or septic tanks (化粪池) at an alarming rate.

The water can save lawns and trees without any harm. Santa Barbara developed an attachment that could be installed on the plumbing (管道设备) of the city homes for as little as $50 that would permit this valuable water to save lawns and landscaping from drying up without risk to the citizens. The city water department in Santa Barbara arranged to install the units and bill homeowners the small cost added to their low monthly payments until it was paid out.

The only gray water that is a threat is the water used in the washing machine and even that is safe to use on the lawn if you’re careful about what kind of soap you use.

41. The writer mentions the old song “The Green, Green Grass of Home” at the beginning of the passage in order to ______.

A. remind people of the good old days

B. create a kind of holiday atmosphere

C. make people aware of the harmfulness of smoking

D. set off by contrast the seriousness of the present draught in Florida

42. To solve many of our problems we are faced with today, the writer suggests that we ______.

A. make full use of yesterday’s to ols

B. rely on new concepts to handle today’s problems

C. invent new tools and apply them in our work

D. combine yesterday’s concepts with new ones

43. Gray water refers to ______.

A. water that is gray in color

B. water that exists in nature

C. water that usually flows out of our homes after being used

D. water that we usually use to irrigate our gardens

44. The people in Santa Barbara could have gray-water units installed on the plumbing of their homes ______.

A. for free

B. For $50, which should be paid before the installation

C. for less than $50

D. for $50, which would be paid on a monthly basis

45. This passage was probably written ______.

A. to suggest the installation of gray-water units in Florida

Passage 1

Conversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day with the aid of cell phones and computers. However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we 1 sight of its true purpose and value.

One important aspect of a good conversation is that the words are properly used to express thoughts and feelings. We are 2 deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not enough for this expression, and many make little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that touches you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?”“Oh, my God, it was so sad, I swear. I went through 3 a box of tissues(面巾纸).

I was in tears.”This dialogue is 4 an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no fact of how or why the movie truly 5 you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only 6 try to avoid overused words, you must also be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the biggest or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.

What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A 7 person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations. There are a thousand questions 8 to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange. Good conversations should not be 9 nonsense, but of a meeting of two sharing the human condition. It should bring a better understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away 10 thoughts or kill time.

1. A. lose B. have C. win D. miss

2. A. lack of B. short of C. fond of D. full of

3. A. using up B. to use C. used up D. using off

4. A. partly B. actually C. hardly D. truly

5. A. infected B. infects C. affects D. affected

6. A. you will B. must you C. you must D. will you

7. A. careless B. efficient C. thoughtful D. able

8. A. waiting B. wait C. waited D. waits

9. A. make up for B. made up of C. make up of D. made up for

10. A. clever B. pleasant C. unpleasant D. happy

Over the 12, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was 13 around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how she experimented with 14 and was into other 15 behavior. I was blown away!

18 better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.

By the time I finished high school, my interest in animals had grown, and I enrolled at a university to study biology. I learned soon enough that studying animals at this level was not in the animals’ best 21. I remember one midterm exam in 22 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and instructed to dissect (解剖)and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the 23 frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was 24 away for such a slight reason.

A year later, in the same lab 25 I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal liberation. We were experimenting on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were 26 in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether (乙醚) 27 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 28 and counted. When the data collection was complete, the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to put them into a small glass

dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting place.

Once my little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye on them. Within minutes the pile was humming (嗡嗡叫) as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 29 flight. That was my first step in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated nonhuman life in a(n) 30 way.

26. A. solved B. soaked C. recovered D. kept

27. A. while B. because C. in case D. so that

28. A. being examined B. to be examined C. being operated D. to be operated

When dad told us about the delivery work it sounded easy, just a piece of cake. The trouble was, we didn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved. Before long trucks seemed to be pulling up outside our house all day long, leaving stacks of advertising. It seemed we should have no chance of meeting the deadline. The we had this marvelous idea. Hiring local kids to help would enable us to get the job done on time. True, it would cut into our profits, but there was no alternative. things seemed to be going well, but then we had trouble over a pay claim. Our workers demanded five dollars an hour, but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less. As for us, when we finally settled our accounts we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for our efforts. I guess we should have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy. While it is often said that love makes the world go round, scientists take a less romantic view. To their minds, energy is the fundamental force at work. All animal life is dependent on obtaining sufficient energy from food. Deer, like other wild animals, do this through eating as much food as possible in the summer, when food resources are abundant. Any excess of energy over their current needs is deposited in the body in the form of fat. Then, when food becomes scarce in the winter, they can live off the fat. In addition, nature helps them to survive the winter by slowing down their metabolism, assisting them to pull through the cold weather. However, when the winter is particularly harsh, deer may have to draw on the fat they have built up more heavily. Under such conditions, only deer in good condition are able to survive to give birth to a new generation. In his essay George Orwell starts off by citing Bernard Shaw’s remark that people are more superstitious today than they were in the Middle Ages. They promptly accept the opinions of experts without asking any questions themselves. Obviously Shaw exaggerates just in order to prove his point that we should not always fall back on the theories of well-known authorities. Rather, we should aim at finding out some things for ourselves. By way of illustration, Orwell outlines arguments against the Flat Earth and the Oval Earth theories, thus throwing light on the fact that much of our knowledge actually rests on authority rather than on reasoning or on experiment. Finally, Orwell draws his conclusion that ours is a credulous age partly because we have such an exceptionally heavy burden of knowledge. The last time Lyz saw her husband was as he waved goodbye to her from the steps of their house. He was due to fly off on business later that day. Unluckily for him his flight was cancelled and he found himself having to take United Flight 93 the following day. It was from on board that ill-fated flight that he telephoned with the news that hijackers had threatened to blow up the aircraft. Cursing his bad luck, he nonetheless realized that his fate was in his own hands. Hoping that the terrorists were bluffing when they claimed to have a bomb, he and some other passengers decided to act. Without hanging up, he set off with the others to attack the hijackers. From the telephone came the sound of screams. Then silence.
