Directions: Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if

inserted in the corresponding blanks. Write your answers on the answer sheet.

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have 31 visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have a very 32 sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still manage to get 33 on my way there. When I was young I was 34 shy that I never dared ask complete strangers 35 and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some 36 I would get to the spot I was heading for.

I am 37 too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and will insist 38 telling you the way even if they do not know it; others, 39 are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long 40 of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember; and 41 others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the 42 direction to that 43 you should be going. If anyone ever asks me the way some where, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid 44 them wrong directions, but even this can have embarrassing(令人难堪的)results.

Once I was on my way to work 45 I was stopped by a man who asked me 46 I would direct him to the Sunlight Building. I gave my 47 reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I 48 that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me, as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him 49 . Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the 50 man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked

31.[A] just [B] only [C] already [D] ever 32.[A] good [B] distant [C] poor [D] fine 33.[A] lost [B] disappeared [C] stuck [D] started 34.[A] a bit [B] such [C] very [D] so 35.[A] a way [B] the way [C] way [D] a direction 36.[A] opportunity [B] fortune [C] possibility [D] chance 37.[A] no longer [B] no more [C] not in the least [D] neither 38.[A] in [B] for [C] on [D] of 39.[A] whom [B] which [C] that [D] who 40.[A] line [B] page [C] list [D] chapter 41.[A] more [ B] still [C] yet [D] further 42.[A] opposed [B] same [C] other [D] opposite

43.[A] in which [B] on which [C] to which [D] for which 44.[A] to give [B] giving [C] to be giving [D] having given 45.[A] while [B] when [C] as [D] then 46.[A] that [B] as if [C] if [D] where 47.[A] same [ B] common [C] known [D] usual 48.[A] realized [B] recognized [C] believed [D] considered 49.[A] to wait [B] waiting [C] be waiting [D] waited 50.[A] only [B] certain [C] very [D] one

III. Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)

Directions: There are four passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.

Passage 1

Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here is what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them.

Remember your mother’s age. As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual, age does not change our view; she is still our mother. Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.

Listen to your mother. I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you.

Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life. Niclle’s mother suffered much during the Second War World War. “My parents are both Jewish-Turkish. They met in France and married young for love. They were in their twenties when war broke out and because they were Jews, they had to go into hiding. She does speak to me about the war, and I think it is important to know what she went through. It is a part of her life that must have affected her deeply. ” Sometimes, in learning about our mother’s past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life.

Ask your mother about your childhood history. My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you now more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.

Keep a sense of humor about your mother. When we hear about someone else’s misfortunes with their mothers and are amused by them, our laughter is one of recognition. I

have often listened to stories of difficult mothers and I have also listened to the following piece of advice they have found most helpful is: “Don’t have a sense of humor failure about your mother.”

Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself. Taking any measure to managing our mother is the issue of how we manage ourselves. No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that is not her behavior it self that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. At the heart of managing your mother is being able to accept your flawed self. Only then are you able to accept your mother—-with all her failings.

51. The followings are the steps you can take to get on with your mother EXCEPT________. [A] Remember your mother’s age and past

[B] Share your roots and your childhood with your mother [C] Have a sense of humor failure about your mother

[D] Managing your shortcoming while managing your mother 52. What does the underlined phrase “a jigsaw puzzle” mean? [A] 拼图玩具 [B] 浏览迷宫 [C] 填充字谜 [D] 游戏人生

53. Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?

[A] It will help you have a better relationship with your mother if you respect her opinion. [B] You should follow a most useful piece of advice——a sense of humor. [C] The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves.

[D] It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up.

54. The main purpose of writing the text is ________. [A] to give information about how we think of your mother. [B] to improve the relationship with your mother.

[C] to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long. [D] to accept your mother—-with all her failings.

Passage 2

The Same Story, Different Reports

Belton and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday- makers and other tourists(观光者).

Last August there was a fire at the Sea breeze Hotel in Belton. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper, The Belton Post:

FIRE AT SEABREEZE

Late last night firemen hurried to the Sea breeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Belton’s first hotel fire for five

years.

The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one. ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

Last night Belton firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Sea breeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Sea breeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes—we know that firemen went to the hotel. Now what do you think of the rest of the “news”?

55. Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text? [A] Belton and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer. [B] A fire broke out one night in Sea breeze Hotel last summer. [C] It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers. [D] Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter. 56. Which of the following are probably facts? a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel. b. A cigarette started the fire. c. An old lamp started the fire. d. The fire broke out at night.

e. There has never been a fire in Canfield. [A] b and c [B] a and d [C] c and e [D] a and c

57. The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _______.

[A] hotels in Belton often catch fire

[B] hotels in Belton don’t often catch fire

[C] this was the second fire at the Sea breeze Hotel

[D] Belton was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe

58. The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Belton Post by saying that _______.

[A] the bedroom lamps were very old at the Sea breeze Hotel [B] the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place [C] the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things [D] such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years

Passage 3

After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours becomes minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.

For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.

But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged(融合) with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms(症状). We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.

What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has becomes avoidance(逃避), a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.

At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline”, “Nightline”, CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over, and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.

59. Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes _______. [A] unreal [B] unbearable [C] misleading [D] not understandable 60. What does the last paragraph mean?

[A] Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange. [B] She is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work.

[C] She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather. [D] She turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV program. 61. What is the author’s attitude to the computer? [A] At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it. [B] She likes it because it is very convenient. [C] She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.

[D] She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.

62. The underlined phrase “coming back out of cave” probably means _______. [A] going back to the dreaming world

[B] coming back home from the outside world [C] bringing back direct human

[D] getting away from living a strange life

Passage 4

I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (董事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection.

A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer. 63. Why was the writer once known as the singing cook? [A] Because he was a cook at a country-music club.

[B] Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook. [C] Because he often sang while cooking.

[D] Because he liked singing better than cooking.

64. Who first recognized his talents and helped make his career successful? [A] Warner Brothers. [B] His manager. [C] His father. [D] A businesswoman. 65. What made the writer proud of himself? [A] His ability to live independently.

[B] His sense of responsibility in whatever he did. [C] His courage in the face of rejections. [D] His hard work in his early days.

What’s this about? ” “I’ve sold your novels 35 one and a half million dollars.” I sat down in 36 . I had written fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 37 by the publishers.

Passage 1

About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and — WHUMP! — it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, \doing?!\That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?\

\\e streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. \(路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. \the boy asked the businessman,\get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.

Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you. 51.

Passage 2

A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.

When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.

As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference(冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.

Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters which are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.

It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist.

Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students. 55. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov_______.

[A] had a lawful lover [B] was an illegal writer [C] used to be a lawyer [D] was a competent doctor 56. In 1880, Chekhov_______. [A] became a full-time writer

Passage 4

The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we had thought.

Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves

about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth’s outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.

Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents—a science called plate tectonics.

The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One, Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.

Wegener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move. 63. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

[A] The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space. [B] Human’s recognition of the earth’s surface. [C] The German scientist Alfred Wegener. [D] The early explorers’ discovery.

64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

[A] We didn’t see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space. [B] Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.

[C] Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move. [D] The coastline of India and Africa fit together.

65. The last word of the third paragraph “tectonics” means “_______”. [A] study of construction [B] study of architecture [C] earth surface

[D] structural geology

Passage 1

There are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains and some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.

In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.

The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do such job as handling radioactive materials. 51. In this passage the author tells us that_______. [A] robots are very popular

[B] there are various kinds of robots [C] we see robots only at certain times [D] robots can be easily controlled

52. What does the author seem to inform you about robots? [A] They should be greatly improved.

[B] They will probably take over in the future. [C] They are very helpful and useful to humans. [D] They are machines that break down a lot. 53. The author says that in industry_______.

[A] robots break down a lot. [B] robots can do many jobs. [C] robots only get in the way.

[D] robots sometimes cause troubles.

54. The fact that a robot never gets bored doing the same job means that_______. [A] it is very much like human beings [B] it can do boring jobs for people [C] it will never bore people

[D] it will work much better than human beings

Passage 2

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil 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 thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.

One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens 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 not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack（群）by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate（从属的）role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.

Training 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 can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 55. Behavior problems of dogs are believe to_______. [A] be just part of their nature [B] worsen in modern society [C] occur when they go wild

[D] present a threat to the community

56. The primary purpose of obedience training is to_______. [A] teach the dog to perform clever tricks

[B] make the dog aware of its owner’s authority [C] provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior [D] enable the dog to regain its normal behavior

Passage 3

For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).

Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she lied it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

59. “…Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “_______”. [A] America has suddenly become a nation of old people [B] gerontology has suddenly become popular

[C] more elderly professors are found on American campuses

[D] American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students 60. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit_______. [A] from the adoption of the “elder law”

[B] from rendering special services to the elderly [C] by enriching their professional knowledge

[D] by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests 61. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market? [A] Retirees are more generous in spending money. [B] They can employ more gerontologists.

[C] The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. [D] There are more elderly people working than before.

62. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderly population

_______.

[A] will provide good job opportunities in many areas [B] will impose an unbearable burden on society

[C] may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination [D] will create new fields of study in universities

Passage 4

The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操). Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize (获利) on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits. In recent years, however, weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well.

Historically, most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and endurance, not for health-related reasons, but primarily because such fitness components have been related to performance in athletics. However, in recent years, evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports Medicine now recommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthy Americans. Increased participation in such training is one of the specific physical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.

63. Early fitness spas were intended mainly for_______.

[A] the promotion of aerobic exercise [B] endurance and muscular development [C] the improvement of women’s figures [D] better performance in aerobic dancing

64. What was the attitude of doctors towards weight training in health improvement? [A] Positive. [B] Indifferent. [C] Negative. [D] Cautious.

65 Recent studies have suggested that weight training _______. [A] has become an essential part of people’s life [B] may well affect the health of the trainees [C] will attract more people in the days to come [D] contributes to health improvement as well
