I. CAREFUL READING

Read the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answer and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points, 2 points each)

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

People have thought very differently about children in different historical eras. In ancient Rome and throughout the Middle Ages, for example, childhood was brief: A boy or girl was considered an “infant” until the age of six, but soon afterward worked alongside adults in the fields, in the workshops, or at home. Children were thought to be born in a state of sin and were viewed as the property of their fathers. Such beliefs contributed to strict discipline of children and neglect of their special needs.

These harsh attitudes softened during the Renaissance and Enlightenment as the humanistic spirit of the times caused a rediscovery of the special qualities of childhood. In paintings, for example, young children were depicted as playing and doing

other childish things, rather than being shown as miniature adults. The importance of childhood as a unique period of development was understood more fully in the 17th and 18th centuries, as reflected in the writings of two important European thinkers: the English philosopher John Locke and the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau. John Locke argued that the newborn infant comes into the world with no inherited predispositions (天性), but rather with a mind as a “blank slate” that is gradually filled with ideas, concepts, and knowledge from experiences in the world. He concluded that the quality of early experiences, particularly how children are raised and educated, shapes the direction of a child’s life. Later, Jean Jacques Rousseau claimed that children at birth are innately good rather than evil, and that their natural tendencies should be protected against the corrupting influences of society. Rousseau’s attitude had an important influence on society, and inspired，for example，the novelists Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo，who decried(揭露)the exploitation of child labor and highlighted the need for educational and social reform．

1．It can be inferred that children in the Middle Ages ______．A．were mistreated and exploited

B．were generally regarded as miniature adults

C．did not observe the institutional disciplines

D．did not start their childhood until the age of six

2．The author cites the example the two European thinkers’ writings to show that ______.

A．children’s behavior was described as adult-like B．children’s innocence and playfulness were neglected C．childhood was revealed as a period of independence D．childhood was revealed as a unique period of development 3．The 2nd paragraph is developed by ______．A．example B．definition

C．comparison D．cause and effect

4．The central argument made by John Locke is that ______．A．children’s future development depends on their genetic background

B．children’s upbringing and early education may shape their future life

C．children’s character formation is largely influenced by their parents

D．the proper way of upbringing is to keep children away from society

5．At the end of the passage，the two novelists are mentioned to emphasize ______.

A．the call for educational and social reform

B．the importance of children’s school education

C．the influence of Rousseau’s attitude tow ard children D．the potential negative influences of society on children Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage．

If ambition is to be well regarded，the rewards of ambition must be worthy of the sacrifices on ambition’s behalf. If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it should be widely shared，and it especially must be highly regarded by such people as the educated．who are themselves admired．However it is the educated who have claimed to have given up ambition as an ideal．What is odd is that they have perhaps benefited most from ambition，though the ambition may be more that of their parents and grandparents than of their own．

Certainly, people do not seem less interested in success now than formerly．In fact，the signs of success such as summer homes，European travel and BMWs have never ceased to be sought after．What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams，as easily and openly as once they could，lest they be thought to be aggressive，materialistic or vulgar．Instead，what has often confused us are those fine

hypocritical spectacles：the critic of American materialism in possession of a Southampton summer home；the publisher of radical books who takes his meals every day in five-star restaurants；the journalist promoting participatory democracy in all phases of life，who sends his own children to expensive private schools．For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional，the motto is，“Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious．’’

Ambition has been attacked from various angles；its public defenders are few and unimpressive，though they are not extremely unattractive．As a result，the support for ambition as a healthy impulse，a quality to be admired by the young，is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States．This does not mean, however，that people are no longer ambition-driven，but only that，no longer openly honored，ambition has become something smartly concealed．6．According to the passage，in order to keep the vitality of the tradition of ambition the successful people themselves must ______．

A．highly value it B．make some sacrifices

C．benefit from it D．make some contributions

7．Such items as summer homes，European travel and BMWs

are listed to prove that ______．

A．these items are commonly used to measure success B．these items are openly honored and admired by the public C．people are as interested in success as they have ever been D．people are more motivated to seek after these items than before

8．People tend not to make their ambitions fully known ______．A．to avoid appearing professionally oriented

B．to avoid appearing snobbish and sophisticated

C．for fear that they might end up in failure or disappointment D．for fear that they might be considered as distasteful and greedy

9．The critic，the publisher and the journalist are mentioned in the 2nd paragraph to show that they are ______.

A．selfish B．corrupted

C．hypocritical D．materialistic

10．The author’s attitude towards ambition as all ideal is ______．

A．satirical B．negative

C．appreciative D．unbiased

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage．

Postage stamps are labels affixed to letters or parcels to indicate that a specified amount of postage has been prepaid for delivery．Stamps are usually issued by a government or an agency representing a government，such as a national post office．The collecting and study of postage stamps and related items such as postcards is known as philately, a word derived from Greek meaning，literally, “love of what is free of further tax．’’Stamp collecting is one of the most popular hobbies in the world．

From the earliest years of the hobby，most philatelists have preferred to collect stamps by country，specializing in the issues of one or more nations．Since about the mid-1950s，however, many philatelists have become interested in topical collecting，acquiring stamps illustrating certain themes or subjects．Among the wide range of pictorials are stamps devoted to sports，art and music，aviation，birds and flowers，and telecommunications．One of the attractions of stamp collecting is the ease of starting a collection．With access to enough incoming mail，especially from abroad，a person call build a collection without any expense．Literally tens of thousands of stamps，however, including many of the older issues，are priced very cheaply．Little special equipment is required．A collector needs only an

album to house the collection and a pair of stamp tongs with which to handle them．Stamps and accessories can be purchased easily．Nearly every city has one or more professional stamp dealers．Thousands of other dealers operate exclusively by mail or on the Internet．

When collectors have accumulated a number of valuable stamps，they must take precautions for safe storage，preferably in a bank safety deposit box．If the stamps are in mint(崭新的)condition，they should not be overlapped；through changes in humidity, overlapping stamps may stick together and become seriously damaged．Collectors also should keep accurate written inventories of all their philatelic material．

11．In the 1st paragraph，“philately” is a term dealing with ______．

A．postage delivery B．postage taxing and pricing

C．a study of postage items D．a study of postcard collecting 12．According to the passage，stamps can be classified ______．A．by face value B．by issue

C．chronologically D．thematically

13．One of the charms of stamp collecting is that it can be started ______．

A．without any technical means

B．without too much time spent

C．without too much space needed

D．without necessarily big investment

14．According to the passage，the new stamps should avoid ______．

A．humidity B．burglary

C．being duplicated D．being catalogued

15．The writer’s suggestion made in the last paragraph is basically ______．

A．misleading B．impractical

C．ambiguous D．operational

Passage 4

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage．

A number of different aspects of life can influence mental health．In a mid-1970s study of people living in the United States，researchers identified critical areas that influence one’s mental health．These areas are working life，family life，and the social role that one occupies in the community．Negative experiences in these areas，such as an unreasonable boss or a turbulent family life，can reduce one’s overall sense of well-being．

Another important influence on mental health is stress．In

general，people experience stress when the demands placed on them exceed the resources they have available to meet those demands．Significant sources of stress include major life events，such as divorce，death of a spouse，loss of a job，and illness in the family．These events can overwhelm a person’s ability to cope and function effectively. In addition，one source of stress may lead to another, as when financial hardship follows job loss．People who experience unusually traumatic events，such as rape and natural disasters，may develop post-traumatic stress disorder．

People may experience chronic stress when confronted with a continuing set of demands that reduce their ability to function．Examples of such demands include working long hours under difficult circumstances and caring for a chronically ill relative．Economic hardship，unemployment，and poverty can also produce chronic stress and undermine mental health．Some studies suggest that genetic factors may partly determine one’s level of happiness and mental health．People seem to display a characteristic level of well-being，with some people usually feeling happy and others typically feeling sad or unhappy．Researchers have found that although people’s moods change in response to both positive and negative events，

the effect wears off over time．For example，people who win the lottery or receive an unexpected promotion may feel happier at first，but over time they return to their former characteristic level of mental health．Research suggests that one’s genetic background—that is，the genes inherited from one’s parents—explains more than half of the differences in people’s characteristic mood levels．Genes may also partly determine the range of ups and downs that people feel，including whether people have large mood swings or remain stable from day to day．

16．According to the passage，the major factors that may reduce one’s sense of psychological well-being include all the following EXCEPT ______?

A．unstable marriage B．genetic heritage

C．bad-tempered managers D．lower social status 17．People experience stress when ______．

A．they have no accessible financial resources

B．they have no social resources at their disposal

C．they feel it hard to shirk family responsibility

D．they have to go beyond their ability to get a job done 18．Chronic stress may result from ______．

A．death of a spouse B．lottery purchases

C．long-time hard work D．failure to be promoted 19．From the last paragraph，it can be inferred that ______. A．people’s mood s are sometimes unstable

B．people cannot escape from negative events

C．Success may produce a long-term effect on people’s mental health

D．parents are partly responsible for their children’s distinctive moods

20．According to the passage，people’s characteris tic mood levels may be affected ______．

A．physically B．biologically

C．gradually D．abruptly

Ⅱ．SPEED READING

Skim or scan the following passages, and then decide on the best answer and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET．(10 points, 1 point each)

Passage 5

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage．Early in World War II，the representatives of nine European governments fled to London．Nazi Germany had conquered much of Europe and had driven these leaders from their homelands．Representatives of the United Kingdom and the

Commonwealth nations met in London with the leaders of nine European nations．On June 1 2，1 94 1，all these nations signed a declaration pledging to work for a free world，where people could live in peace and security．This pledge，usually called the Inter-Allied Declaration, was the first step toward building the UN．

On October 30，l 943，representatives of the United Kingdom，China，the Soviet Union, and the United States signed the Moscow Declaration on General Security．This declaration approved the idea of establishing an international organization for preserving world peace．

From August to October 1944，representatives of the United Kingdom，China，the Soviet Union，and the United States held a series of meetings at the Dumbarton Oaks estate in Washington D．C．The four nations succeeded in drawing up a basic plan，though they could not agree on some important questions．The plan’s main feature Was a Security Council on which the United Kingdom，China, France，the Soviet Union, and the United States would be permanently

represented．

In February 1945，Roosevelt, Churchill，and Stalin met at Yalta in the Crimea．The three leaders announced that a conference

of United Nations would open in San Francisco on April 25，1945．This conference would use the plan worked out at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference to help prepare a charter for the UN．

Delegates from 50 nations met in San Francisco for the United Nations Conference on International Organization．The conference opened on April 25, 1945，13 days after the death of Roosevelt and 12 days before the surrender of Germany．Victory over Japan Was still four months away．

At the conference，some major disagreements arose between the Big Three (the United Kingdom，the Soviet Union，and the United States)and the smaller, less powerful nations．The Big Three believed they could guarantee future peace only if they continued to cooperate as they had during the war．They insisted that the Charter of the United Nations should give them the power to veto actions of the Security Council．The smaller nations opposed the veto power but failed to defeat it．

On June 26，1945，all 50 nations present at the conference voted to accept the charter. Poland had been unable to attend but 1ater signed the charter as an original member．The charter then had to be approved by the governments of the five

permanent members of the Security Council and of a majority of the other nations that signed it．It went into effect on October 24，1945，a date celebrated every year as United Nations Day．

21．The passage is mainly concerned with ______．

A．how the Security Council was built

B．how the UN Charter went into effect

C．the founding of the United Nations

D．some major disagreements in the UN conferences 22．The Moscow Declaration was signed by ______．

B．the Soviet Union，the UK，the US，China，and France C．the Soviet Union，the UK，the US，China, and Poland D．the Soviet Union，the UK，the US，Germany, and Japan 24．The issue of veto power was heatedly discussed at the conference held in ______.

A．Yalta B．Moscow

C．Washington D．C．D．San Francisco

25．The UN Charter was officially effective on ______．A．June 12，1945 B．April 25, 1945

Passage 6

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage．

A fellow speaker from California named Geri was excited about her first speech in Japan．To be comfortable on her long flight to Tokyo，she put on her favorite designer jeans and a casual jacket．Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport．Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards．With her carry-on bag in one hand，Geri took their cards with the other．She thanked them，glanced briefly at the cards，and packed them safely into her back pocket．She then gave them her card．

When the five of them arrived at the hotel，they invited Geri to tea in the lobby．While sipping tea，the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened．One of Geri’s most charming qualities is her instinctive warmth．She was thrilled with the gift and，in typical Geri style，she squealed，“Oh，it’s beautiful!” as she gave each of the gentlemen a little

hug．

At this point，the four Japanese gentlemen stood up in union and，bowing only very slightly, mumbled “Sayonara” and promptly left．Poor Geri was left stunned．What did she do wrong?

Everything! Her jeans was the first gaffe．Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan，you do not meet c1ients casually dressed．The second mistake was Geri’s vulgar handling of their business cards．In Japan，the business card is one of the most important protocol tools．It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands．However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly．In Japan，people use business cards as a conversation starter．You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping．Shoving it into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect．

Then，the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients．In a 1and where saving face is critical，it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received．What is worse，Geri hadn’t even given them a gift !

26．The four Japanese businessmen invited Geri to tea ______．

A．in the hotel lobby B．in a hotel room

C．at a businessmen’s office D．at the airport lounge 27．The word “gaffe” in the 4th paragraph can be replaced by ______．

A．disrespect B．mistake

C．mischief D．protocol

28．According to the passage，the Japanese consider it ______．A．an honor to be given a hug by a lady

B．ill-mannered to say good-bye humbly

C．impolite to open a gift in front of the giver D．unnecessary for a lady to be properly dressed

29．The third mistake Geri made was that she ______．A．met her clients casually dressed

B．took her clients’ cards with one hand

C．kept her clients’ cards in a wrong place

D．used her own card as a conversation starter

30．Geri’s experiences tell us about ______．A．differences in the handling of business cards B．differences in the tastes and styles of fashion

C．gender differences in business communication D．cultural differences in business communication III．DISCOURSE CLOZE

自考英语模考阅读一 《英语阅读一》模拟试题(一) READING COMPREHENSION Passage 1 According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are “ more materialistic and less altruistic(利他主义的)” than at any time in the 17 years of the poll. Not surprising in these hard times, the student’s major objective “ is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.” It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. Interest in teaching, social service and the ―altruistic‖ fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up. That’s no surprise either. A friend of mine( a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job—even before she completed her two-year associate degree.

Unit 1 单元同步练习 I. Careful Reading Directions: In this section, there are 3 reading passages followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. Thus they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money. Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The government, local authorities and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange. There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance. 1. Almost all companies trying to develop new products and create ne jobs have to ____. A. borrow large sums of money from friends and relatives B. persuade the banks to provide long-term finance C. rely on their own financial resources D. depend on the population as a whole for finance 2. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is ___. A. raised by selling the shares in the companies B. raised by putting into circulation the savings of individuals overseas C. repaid to its original owners as soon as possible D. invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange 3. When the savers want their money back they ___. A. go to the company to take it back B. have to borrow money from other people C. put their shares in the company back on the market

Affected with a serious disease, Van Wendel was no longer able to speak clearly and he knew there was no hope of recovery and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. Van Wendel's last three months of life before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor were filmed and first shown on television last year in the Netherlands. The programme has since been bought by 20 countries and each time it is shown, it starts a nationwide debate on the subject. The Netherlands is the only country in Europe which permits euthanasia, although it is not technically legal there. However, doctors who carry out euthanasia under strict guidelines introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago are usually not prosecuted. The guidelines demand that the patient is experiencing extreme suffering, that there is no chance of a cure, and that the patient has made repeated requests for euthanasia. In addition to this, a second doctor, must confirm that these criteria have been met and the death must be reported to the police department. Should doctors be allowed to take the lives of others? Dr. Wilfred Van Oijen, Cees Van Wendel's doctor, explains how he looks at the question: Well, it's not as if I'm planning to murder a crowd of people with a machine gun. In that case, killing is the worst thing I can imagine. But that's entirely different from my work as a doctor. I care for people and I try to ensure that they don't suffer too much. That's a very different thing. Many people, though, are totally against the practice of euthanasia. Dr. Andrew Ferguson, Chairman of the Organisation Healthcare Opposed to Euthanasia, says that in the vast majority of euthanasia cases, what the patient is actually asking for is something else. They may want a health professional to open up communication for them with their loved ones or family there's nearly always another question behind the question. Britain also has a strong tradition of hospices-special hospitals which care only for the dying and their special needs. Cicely Saunders, President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement, argues that euthanasia doesn't take into account that
