are 11 of reasons for this.One of them is the overload of messages most of us 12 each day.In addition to the numerous hours we 13 hearing other people speak, we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front of a television set.14, it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what is said;our mind might be 15 elsewhere.Preoccupation with our personal concerns is 16 reason we don’t always listen carefully.A romance 17 sour or a good grade on a test may take prominence in our mind even as 18 is speaking to us.Furthermore, we are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 19 listening.For example, voices at a party or 20 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch everything that is being said.11.A.the number B.a number C.number D.numbers

each)Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto.When he was young, Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores.In 1869, he sep up his own shop in downtown Toronto.He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for success.He offered a unique style of trade, but as was expected, all the other shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail.However, Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated;he came up with a brand new notion of business – ―Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.‖ He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of the way to meet their needs.His business grew rapidly.He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.Eaton’s list—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind.It was distributed and read all over the country.It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites.It became part of their life.They even called it The Wishing Book.The secret of the list’s success was that Eaton gained the respect of this customers;they trusted him for good prices and quality goods.Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working conditions, shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer.In all this, he was a leader.21.The best description of Eaton is that ______.A.he was the richest merchant in Toronto B.he was a successful technical inventor C.he introduced new sales practices D.he changed people’s ideas about businessmen 22.Eaton’s success lay primarily in that ____.A.he sold only good quality goods B.he was the first person to provide good service C.he treated his employees better than any of his competitors D.he won respect from his customers 23.From the passage we can infer that ______.A.Eaton invented the idea of the internet shopping B.Eaton drove other businessmen to failure C.Eaton never sold his goods on credit D.Eaton was defeated by his rivals 24.The best title for this passage is _____.A.Good Goods, of Money Refunded B.Eaton, a Sales Inventor C.Customers’ Respect, a Secret of Success D.Eaton’s list, a Welcome Event in Sales History
25.Eaton’s List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting _____.A.good-quality goods at reasonable prices B.goods at unreasonable prices C.good-quality goods at unreasonable prices D.poor-quality goods at reasonable prices Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The threat of a global outbreak(疾病大爆發(fā))of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community to cooperate effectively.Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu.Developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus(病毒)has spread since 1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide sighs of possible outbreaks.In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed;there should be more distance between the birds and their keepers.Countries should deal with the disease with joint effort.If one country is inadequately prepared, it will be a threat to every other country.The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous.Firstly, an outbreak may kill large numbers of people.World Health Organization(WHO)estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people.If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50 million, the number would be much higher.Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great financial damage.The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent.If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, $800 billion would be lost.Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the virus remains mainly a disease animals.However, the more animals that die of the disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people.Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus and change into a virus with new characteristics.If the international community works together efficiently, man can surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.26.Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu, the international community should ________.A.establish new markets B.work together effectively C.stop birds from flying to other countries D.raise fewer chickens and ducks 27.The second paragraph focuses on ______.A.World Health Organization B.flus in Hong Kong and Spain C.the economy of Southeast Asia D.possible effects of a bird flu outbreak 28.The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _______.A.63 B.124 C.7.4 million D.50 million 29.In the third paragraph, the author is mainly interested in _____.A.stimulating financial growth B.reducing economic damages C.saving human lives D.protecting bird species 30.The passage deals with all the following aspects bird flu EXCEPT _______.A.the origin and history of bird flu B.the importance of international cooperation C.the possible dangers of a national outbreak D.the significance of preventing it from spreading Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased.―We worry more about their safety in the holidays,‖ explains one mother from North London.If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.Weekends are not the only time to worry!Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train.This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net.All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous? Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier.In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents.―At least our parents can keep tabs on us,‖ says 16-year-old Julia.―So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are.I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.‖ Mobiles are not just expensive toys;they help keep young people safe.Most significantly, they help keep young people safe.Most significantly, they make parents feel better.Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely.Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger.Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did.Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.31.Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.A.wander around on bus in the city B.chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms C.make questionable friends on the net D.are taken little care of by teachers 32.For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school ________.A.by car B.by bus C.by train D.by public transport 33.Most significantly, mobile phones _______.A.enable parents keep a close watch on their kids B.help keep teenagers safe C.make parents feel less worried D.protect teenagers from being attacked 34.Teenagers should never give any strangers ______.A.their mobile phone numbers B.their family address C.their personal information D.their parents’ names 35.This passage is mainly about ________.A.freedom for teenagers in summer holidays B.safety for teenagers in summer holidays C.activities for teenagers in summer holidays D.troubles for teenagers in summer holidays PART TWO(50 POINTS)IV.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)將下列漢語單詞譯成英語。每個(gè)單詞的詞類、首字母及字母數(shù)目均已給出。請(qǐng)將完整的單詞寫在答題紙上。36.獲勝者,優(yōu)勝者 n.w_ _ _ _ _ 37.(使)枯萎,凋謝 v.w_ _ _ _ _ 38.垂直的,豎的 a.v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 39.易變的,變量的 a.v_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 40.唯一的,獨(dú)特的 a.u_ _ _ _ _ 41.地下的,隱蔽的 a.u_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 42.真實(shí)的,如實(shí)地 ad.t_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 43.星期二 n.T_ _ _ _ _ _ 44.傳統(tǒng),慣例 n.t_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 45.同情,同情心 n.s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 46.投降,讓步 vi.s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 47.足夠的,充分的 a.s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 48.親屬,親戚 n.r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 49.抵抗,反抗 n.r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 50.有目的的,蓄意的 a.p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 51.財(cái)產(chǎn);性質(zhì) n.p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 52.俯望,漏看 vt.o_ _ _ _ _ _ _ 53.發(fā)源,源自 vi.o_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 54.音樂的,悅耳的 a.m_ _ _ _ _ _ 55.意圖,打算 n.i_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

VII.Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)將下列短文譯成漢語并將答案寫在答題紙上。
There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another, usually a younger person who is supposed not to know.However, teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill.Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind.If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with others.You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves.All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers.We can share what we know, however little it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.2006年4月高等教育自學(xué)考試全國統(tǒng)一命題考試 英語

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five.On being asked his opinion, he said, ”Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral.If I were to make a choice between them, I would rather choose the latter Anyway, it's better to live than not to live at all.“ A lively discussion followed.A banker, who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer, suddenly lost his temper and cried out, ”It's a lie.I bet you two million.You wouldn't stick in a cell even for five years.“ ”If you mean it,“ replied the young lawyer, ”I bet I'll stay there longer;make it fifteen instead of five.“ ”Fifteen!Done!“ cried the banker.”Gentleman, I bet you two millions.“ ”Agreed.Two millions for my freedom,“ said the lawyer.So this wild, ridiculous bet came to pass.The banker could not hide his excitement During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly, ”Come to your senses, young man, before it's too late.Two millions are nothing to me, but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life.I say three or four because you'll never stick it out any longer Don't forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than a enforced one.The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell.I pity you.“ And now the banker, pacing from comer to comer, recalled all this and asked himself, ”Why did I make this bet? What's the good? The lawyer lost fifteen years of hi life and I threw away two millions.Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life? No, no!Rubbish!On my part, it was the caprice(心血來潮)of a well-fed millionaire;on the lawyer's part, it's the pure greed c gold." 21.The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because.A.he was younger than the banker B.capital punishment was immoral C.it was better than capital punishment D.the banker would give him $200,000 22.The author considers the bet between the lawyer and the banker.A.interestingB.ridiculous C.capriciousD.instructive 23.The word 'company' in the first paragraph refers to __.A.companionsB.bankers C.lawyersD.prisoners 24.The banker was extremely excited because __.A.he was too rich to care for the money B.he was sure of his winning the bet C.the lawyer would give up in 15 years D.the lawyer would give up before 5 years 25.In the end, the banker considers his bet with the lawyer __.A.rationalB.reasonableC.beneficialD.unreasonable Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Online learning is also called distance education, which helps students who take classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree.And it has become more and more popular with both young people and educational institutions.The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992.Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other countries.Last year,the school launched NYU Online.It offers NYU's first online Programs for a bachelor's degree.Programs are offered in three areas;leadership And management, information systems management and social sciences.The classes are highly interactive where students communicate with each other and their teachers.Some classes require students to log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a professor Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student is to take It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year.NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program.If you are interested in the program, you can gel more details at the website: www.tmdps.cnmon belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction.This is not true.The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature.Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.For example, tropical forests are known to be essential to the balance of nature, yet we are destroying them at a great rate.They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country, but to satisfy the needs of rich countries.Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper;in Papua slew Guinea, forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products;in Burma and Thailand, forests have been destroyed to produce more attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong.Therefore, a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself.In short, it is everybody's duty to safeguard the future of mankind—not only through population control, but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature.Nature is both fragile and powerful.It is very easily destroyed;on the other hand, it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy—man.31.According to the first paragraph, people usually believe that.A.poor people in poor countries contribute to the imbalance of nature B.rich people know how to protect the environment by taking actions C.people in poor areas know a lot about the birth control D.rich people in rich countries have done a lot to balance nature 32.In the author's opinion, __.A.developing countries should be responsible for environmental problems B.overpopulation in the world is created by the developed countries C.rich countries exercise worse influence on environment than poor countries D.all countries should bring the population growth under control 33.The purpose of the second paragraph is mainly to illustrate __.A.how the forests in the U.S.are being destroyed B.which countries are the victims of the imbalance of nature C.what Japan has done to develop its own economy D.how South Asian countries make quality furniture 34.Nature is very easily destroyed by __.A.rich peopleB.poor people C.natural disastersD.mankind 35.The topic of the passage is that __.A.the control of population is essential to

However careful one may be, he cannot possibly listen carefully to everything that he hears.There are 11 of reasons for this.One of them is the overload of messages most of us 12 each day.In addition to the numerous hours we 13 hearing other people speak, we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front of a television set.14, it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what is said;our mind might be 15 elsewhere.Preoccupation with our personal concerns is 16 reason we don’t always listen carefully.A romance 17 sour or a good grade on a test may take prominence in our mind even as 18 is speaking to us.Furthermore, we are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 19 listening.For example, voices at a party or 20 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch everything that is being said.11.A.the number

D.scream III.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points each)Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto.When he was young, Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores.In 1869, he set up his own shop in downtown Toronto.He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for success.He offered a unique style of trade, but as was expected, all the other shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail.However, Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated;he came up with a brand new notion of business – ―Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.‖ He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of the way to meet their needs.His business grew rapidly.He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.Eaton’s list—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind.It was distributed and read all over the country.It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites.It became part of their life.They even called it The Wishing Book.The secret of the list’s success was that Eaton gained the respect of his customers;they trusted him for good prices and quality goods.Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working conditions, shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer.In all this, he was a leader.21.The best description of Eaton is that ______.A.he was the richest merchant in Toronto B.he was a successful technical inventor C.he introduced new sales practices
D.he changed people’s ideas about businessmen 22.Eaton’s success lay primarily in that ____.A.he sold only good quality goods B.he was the first person to provide good service C.he treated his employees better than any of his competitors D.he won respect from his customers 23.From the passage we can infer that ______.A.Eaton invented the idea of the internet shopping B.Eaton drove other businessmen to failure C.Eaton never sold his goods on credit
D.Eaton was defeated by his rivals 24.The best title for this passage is _____.A.Good Goods, of Money Refunded
B.Eaton, a Sales Inventor C.Customers’ Respect, a Secret of Success
D.Eaton’s list, a Welcome Event in Sales History 25.Eaton’s List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting _____.A.good-quality goods at reasonable prices B.goods at unreasonable prices C.good-quality goods at unreasonable prices D.poor-quality goods at reasonable prices Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The threat of a global outbreak(疾病大爆發(fā))of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community to cooperate effectively.Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu.Developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus(病毒)has spread since 1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide sighs of possible outbreaks.In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed;there should be more distance between the birds and their keepers.Countries should deal with the disease with joint effort.If one country is inadequately prepared, it will be a threat to every other country.The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous.Firstly, an outbreak may kill large numbers of people.World Health Organization(WHO)estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people.If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50 million, the number would be much higher.Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great financial damage.The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent.If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, $800 billion would be lost.Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the virus remains mainly a disease animals.However, the more animals that die of the disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people.Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus and change into a virus with new characteristics.If the international community works together efficiently, man can surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.26.Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu, the international community should ________.A.establish new markets
B.work together effectively C.stop birds from flying to other countries D.raise fewer chickens and ducks 27.The second paragraph focuses on ______.A.World Health Organization
B.flus in Hong Kong and Spain C.the economy of Southeast Asia
D.possible effects of a bird flu outbreak 28.The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _______.A.63
B.124
C.7.4 million
D.50 million 29.In the third paragraph, the author is mainly interested in _____.A.stimulating financial growth
B.reducing economic damages C.saving human lives
D.protecting bird species 30.The passage deals with all the following aspects bird flu EXCEPT _______.A.the origin and history of bird flu
B.the importance of international cooperation C.the possible dangers of a national outbreak D.the significance of preventing it from spreading Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased.―We worry more about their safety in the holidays,‖ explains one mother from North London.If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK today, but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.Weekends are not the only time to worry!Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train.This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net.All the Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?
Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier.In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents.―At least our parents can keep tabs on us,‖ says 16-year-old Julia.―So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are.I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.‖ Mobiles are not just expensive toys;they help keep young people safe.Most significantly, they help keep young people safe.Most significantly, they make parents feel better.Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home safely.Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger.Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did.Now school, television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.31.Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.A.wander around on bus in the city
B.chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms C.make questionable friends on the net
D.are taken little care of by teachers 32.For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school ________.A.by car
B.by bus
C.by train
D.by public transport 33.Most significantly, mobile phones _______.A.enable parents keep a close watch on their kids B.help keep teenagers safe C.make parents feel less worried
D.protect teenagers from being attacked 34.Teenagers should never give any strangers ______.A.their mobile phone numbers
B.their family address C.their personal information
D.their parents’ names 35.This passage is mainly about ________.A.freedom for teenagers in summer holidays B.safety for teenagers in summer holidays C.activities for teenagers in summer holidays D.troubles for teenagers in summer holidays PART TWO(50 POINTS)IV.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)將下列漢語單詞譯成英語。每個(gè)單詞的詞類、首字母及字母數(shù)目均已給出。請(qǐng)將完整的單詞寫在答題紙上。36.獲勝者,優(yōu)勝者 n.w_ _ _ _ _

There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another, usually a younger person who is supposed not to know.However, teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill.Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind.If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with others.You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves.All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers.We can share what we know, however little it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.答案I.Vocabulary and Structure(本大題共10小題,每小題1分,共10分)1.B 2.D 3.B 4.D 5.A 6.C 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.A II.Cloze Test(本大題共10小題,每小題1分,共10分)11.B 12.C 13.C 14.A 15.D 16.D 17.A 18.C 19.B 20.B III.Reading Comprehension(本大題共15小題,每小題2分,共30分)21.C 22.D 23.C 24.B 25.A 26.B 27.D 28.A 29.C 30.A 31.D 32.A 33.C 34.C 35.B IV.Word Spelling(本大題共20小題,每?jī)尚☆}1分,共10分)36.winner 37.wither 38.vertical 39.variable 40.unique 41.underground 42.truthfully 43.Tuesday 44.tradition 45.sympathy 46.surrender 47.sufficient 48.relative 49.resistance 50.purposeful 51.property 52.overlook 53.originate 54.musical 55.intention [評(píng)分參考]多寫、少寫或錯(cuò)寫一個(gè)或一個(gè)以上的字母均為錯(cuò) V.Word From(本大題共10小題,每小題1分,共10分)56.has written 57.to finish 58.to be completed 59.bring 60.better 61.have made 62.taking 63.vote

And since humans can live in tall buildings, why not pigs and fish?
The creative minds behind a government report suggest just this for a site at Rotterdam(鹿特丹)very close to mainland Europe's largest port.The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields, six floors of equal area, at total of 500 acres(英畝)stretching skywards.The building, known as Deltapark, visualizes 300,000 pigs, 1.2 million chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof.The pigs could enjoy more space than on an average pig farm, and end their days in the slaughterhouse downstairs.Space without daylight in the giant building could be used for cultivating mushrooms(蘑菇)which grow well in the dark.Higher up, greenhouses full of tomatoes and flowers, grown in nutrient solutions collected from elsewhere in the building, would profit from the light.The system is theoretically a complete farming cycle, with one activity feeding another and everything being recycled.Deltapark is to be run by managers, not farmers.It has nothing to do with agriculture as we now know it, and so far, only exists on paper.But the idea has created a heated debate in the Netherlands and attracted attention abroad.21.According to the passage, a multi-story farm ______ in the Netherlands.A.is under construction
B.is about to be put to use C.has been proposed
D.might cause severe criticism 22.According to the report, which of the following is NOT true? A.Deltapark occupies an area of 10 football fields.B.Deltapark has a floor space of 500 acres.C.Deltapark has six floors.D.Deltapark is on a steep slope.23.What is the meaning of “slaughterhouse” in Line 5, Paragraph 3? A.A house where animals are fed.B.A house where animals are kept in the daytime.C.A place where animals stay for the night.D.A place where animals are killed for food.24.It is supposed in Paragraph 4 that ______.A.the flowers would be nourished by liquids gathered outside the building B.the tomatoes and flowers would benefit from daylight C.the vegetable growing area would be lit by electric lights D.the system would be far from self-sufficient in production 25.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.Farm of the Future?
B.Animal Farm? C.Field of Your Dreams?
D.Animal Farm or Vegetable Farm? Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco.A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone(薩克斯管)on a street corner.His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance.After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter.Clifford asked her if she played any instrument.When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小號(hào))lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That's fine, little lady.Learn your instrument well and you can play anything.” Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader.If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want---not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history---whatever interests you as your confidence grows.You would not be limited in any way.If you have the vocabulary---or at least a good dictionary near at hand---you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words.In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school.They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills.The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence.And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school.Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks : to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.26.The author develops his point by starting with ______.A.an example B.an incident C.a statement D.a contrast 27.Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1? A.Clifford was good at playing the saxophone.B.The author's friend was once a street musician.C.The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly.D.Clifford was a good music teacher.28.“Struck … as appropriate” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 most probably means ______.A.seemed to be appropriate
B.proved to be appropriate C.happened to be appropriate
D.found to be appropriate 29.With good reading skills, you can ______.A.understand anything you read without difficulty B.work out the author's meaning if only you concentrate on the book C.understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary D.concentrate on whatever you read 30.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading skills ______.A.is directed to elementary school students B.centers around vocabulary building skills C.offers elementary reading skills
D.aims at helping students read better Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment, they would look at you as if you were crazy.We don't think about a telephone or a television or a car as being rare.These things have become such an essential part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked upon.In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the Worldwide Web(互聯(lián)網(wǎng)).It will just be there, an essential part of life.It will be a reflex to turn to the Web for shopping, education, entertainment and communication, just as it is natural today to pick up the telephone to talk to someone.There is an enormous interest in the Web.Yet it is still in its infancy(嬰兒期).The technology and the speed of response are leaping forward.This will move more and more people to the Web as part of their everyday lives.Eventually, everyone's business card will have an electronic mail address.Every lawyer, every doctor and every business---from large to small---will be connected.To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic(悲觀的).We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten.The Web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008.probably before.31.What is implied in Paragraph 1? A.Only mad people would ask questions about telephones, TV sets and cars.B.We don't usually ask people why they use the telephone, television and car.C.Today televisions and cars are no longer as important as they used to be.D.In some places, the telephone, television and car are still rare things.32.According to the text, in ten years' time the Web will ______.A.have become part of people's everyday life B.be as cheap as the telephone of today C.have lost its interest to people
D.no longer be an infant 33.The word “reflex” in Line 2, Paragraph 2 probably means _____.A.automatic, unthinking act
B.something one is thinking over C.reflection of other people's opinion D.turning from the source 34.Technology for the Web _____.A.has passed its infancy
B.is developing at a very rapid rate C.has naturally moved more people together D.is responding to the challenge of the world 35.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.The development of the Web has just started.B.It will probably take less than ten years for the Web to become common.C.Eventually the Web will be able to link all businesses together.D.We are usually too optimistic when we talk about what we can do in ten years.PART TWO Ⅳ.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)將下列漢語單詞譯成英語。作為提示,每個(gè)單詞的詞類、首字母及字母數(shù)目均已給出。請(qǐng)將完整的單詞寫在答題紙上。

Today, growing numbers of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater attraction to them.Motives or reasons for changing careers vary widely, but many people move because they feel bored.For some, a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy and believe to be important.Certainly, time spent in one occupation is likely to narrow the range of later occupational choices;very few people start a completely new career in mid-life.Most people move to a related field that involves a minimum of training.答案Ⅰ.Vocabulary and Structure(10 points,1 point for each item)1.D 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.C 6.B 7.A 8.B 9.D 10.A Ⅱ.Cloze Test(10 points, 1 point for each item)11.D 12.A 13.A 14.B 15.B 16.C 17.B 18.D 19.C 20.A Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each item)21.C 22.D 23.D 24.B 25.A 26.A 27.A 28.A 29.A 30.D 31.B 32.A 33.A 34.B 35.D Ⅳ.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)36.reward 37.loss 38.merit 39.owe 40.global 41.suburb 42.passion 43.recover 47.comment 48.science 49.lovely 50.ancestor 51.double 52.internal 53.medium 54.flood 55.foucs Ⅴ.Word Form(10 points, 1 point for each item)56.to distinguish 57.totally 58.to have been translated 59.are trying 60.recorded 61.would have 62.are 63.more brilliant 64.To save 65.reached Ⅵ.Translation from Chinese into English(15 points, 3 points for each item)66.We have realized how important the green environment is.67.He was trying to persuade the students to return to the classroom.68.These elderly are very happy to face the challenges in front of danger.69.He has gift for music, but he knows nothing when it comes to painting.70.This would have been considered impossible twenty years ago.Ⅶ.Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)
