Part IV Reading Comprehension
Passage One
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory(遷徙的)flight? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years.Now they are beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours.But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial(人造的)stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow stars in their long-distance flights.One such bird – a warbler – had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky.Yet it showed an inborn ability to use stars for guidance.The bird’s cage was laced under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time.The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins.Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance.But stars are apparently their main means of directed flight in the night.What do they do when stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines and river courses.But when it is too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to find their way.61.Which of the following is NOT true about migratory bird’s flight?
A、Some birds fly mainly by day.B、Some birds fly mainly by night.C、Birds like to fly during daylight hours.D、Birds depend on the sun or stars to guide them.62.What do we know about the experimental warbler?
A、It was set free for the experiment.B、It had never flown freely outdoors.C、It had never been placed under the sun.D、It had lost its way in its daylight flight.63.What do we know about warblers as a whole?
A、They do not have intelligence.B、They tend to take the same route as other birds.C、They do not need to learn to fly in the right way.D、They cannot sense changes in the position of the moon.64.What does the passage say about warblers’ sense of direction?
A、They get lost under star-filled sky.B、They lose their way when it is too dark.C、They are not able to see clearly at night.D、They usually depend on clouds for direction.65.What does “fill in the blanks” in the first paragraph mean?
A、“to do the exercise”B、“to take the test”
C、“to know the right words”D、“to know the answer”
Passage Two
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
How men first learned to invent words is unknown.All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down.Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past;the more we read and learn, the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to out minds and feelings.This attractive use of words is what we call literary style.Above all, the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which sing like
music, and, by their position and association, can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech dull and silly.66.Which of the following did men invent first?
A、WordsB、SoundsC、SignsD、Letters
67.Why did men invent language?
A、To be different form animals.B、To make their ideas known to others.C、To make nice sounds for others to hear.D、To have something to write down with.68.Which of the following is true of words according to the passage?
A、Their power is beyond imagination.B、They last longer than signs or sounds.C、They remind people of their past experience.D、They enable people to live longer and read more.69.Why does the author mention “poet” in the last paragraph?
A、A poet is full of great thoughts and feelings.B、A poet is an example of good language users.C、A poet tells of the glad and sad events of his past.D、A poet knows more sounds and words than others.70.What is the best title of the passage?
A、Language and Its Use.B、Language and Human Experience.C、Poet: A Master of Words.D、How Language Came into Being.Passage Three
Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:
In the 1800s, trains roared into stations.They were symbols of progress and expansion.They played as much of a role in America’s history as presidents and generals.The first American railroads were built in the late 1820’s.The early railroads provided cheap transportation for shippers and travelers.To encourage the railroads to expand into unsettled land, President Millard Fillmore signed a series of landgrant acts(土地撥贈法案)in the 1850’s.These acts gave the railroad companies ownership of land that ran along the railways.In return for the land, the railroads carried government traffic at reduced rates.The railroad companies sold much of their land to farmers and cattlemen, who then shipped their goods on the trains.The importance of the railroads became clear during the Civil War.During the war, trains carried troops, arms, and supplies.One reason that the North won the war is that it had more use of the railroads.Between 1865 and 1900, railroads grew rapidly.The first transcontinental(跨越全洲的)route was completed in 1869.This track made easier for pioneers to cross the Rocky Mountains and settle the West.And the railroads brought new people to the West even before the trains started running.Thousands of Chinese and Irish laborers helped to lay down the tracks.71.When were the first American railroads built according to the passage?
A、Around 1800.B、Around 1830.C、Around 1860.D、Around 1890.72.Which of the following is NOT a result of the landgrant acts of the 1850’s?
A、The railroads expanded into unsettled lands.B、Farmer and settlers received land for free.C、The government could pay less for its railroad use.D、Farmers and cattlemen bought land form the railroads.73.What was one of the reasons that the South was defeated in the Civil War?
A、The South was short of military supplies.B、Only the North owned railroads and trains.C、The South failed to make good use of railroads.D、The North used railroads to attack the Southern army.74.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A、Railroads grew rapidly between 1865 and 1900.B、Railroad construction created a lot of jobs.C、Trains carried Chinese and Irish laborers to the West.D、The first railroad that reached the West was completed in 1866’s.75.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A、Railroads grew rapidly between 1865 and 1900.B、Railroads played an important role in American history.C、Trains helped pioneers to cross the Rocky Mountains.D、Trains controlled American economy in the 19th century.Part VI Translation from Chinese into English

訂購信一般用于訂購某種貨物或機票、車票,屬于事務信件。在書寫訂購信的時候,最重要的是要清新明白地說明所要訂購的對象的數(shù)量、價格、規(guī)格等等,如果是機票、車票等,則須說明出發(fā)地、目的地、出發(fā)時間等。此外,寫明你自己的名字、地址、郵編,以及你期望的送貨方式等也是非常重要的。要避免寫冗長的句子,因為此類信函以傳達信息為主,所以能讓對方明白你的意圖是最重要的。
下面是一封訂購飛機票的信函:

申請信寫法:
開頭:說明寫信目的(申請原因),信息來源,對所申請工作或學校的認識,自己的打算。
主體:著重介紹自己的背景(教育情況,工作經(jīng)歷,興趣愛好,特長等)。求職信先介紹工作經(jīng)驗,要突出個人能力及工作業(yè)績;求學信要重點介紹自己受教育程度。總之,要努力使自己的介紹引起對方的興趣。
結尾:表達自己的愿望,如希望得到面試機會等。要自信而堅定。
June 1.2010 Dear Sir or madam,I write this letter to apply for the position that you have advertised in___(信息來源)of ___(信息發(fā)布日期).Not only do I have the qualifications for this job, but I also have the right personality for a ___(職位名稱).___(原因之一).On the other hand, ___(原因之二).I would be very grateful if you grant me a personal interview.If you need to know more about me, please feel free to contact me at any time at___(電話號碼).Thank you for considering my application.I am looking forward to meeting you.Yours sincerely,Li Ming
常用語:
I have learned that you are hiring---
I would like to apply for---
I am interested in a---position in your firm.I would appreciate an interview at your convenience.I am well qualified to---for the following reasons.My interest and skill in---contribute to my qualification for this job.感謝信
1)感謝信的寫法
感謝信最主要的特點是真誠。缺乏真摯的感情答謝他人,收信人將對你的謝意產(chǎn)生懷疑,感謝的目的也就失去了。因此,寫感謝信首先得真心誠意。
感謝信另一個特點是具體。寫感謝信切忌泛泛而談,而應著重于具體的感謝事由。
其次一個特點是及時。收到別人禮物、得到別人幫助,應及時寫信予以答謝。否則,人家會對你的謝意大打折扣。
收到他人贈送的禮物應當及時寫封感謝信,感謝信除了應寫得真誠、具體、及時外,還應當特別提及所收禮物的具體內(nèi)容,否則,泛泛而談,使人覺得你不夠真誠。為此,當你寫感謝信時,應這樣寫:“Thank you for your beautiful roses.”(謝謝您送的美麗的玫瑰花。);而不要籠統(tǒng)地寫上“Thank you for your beautiful gift.”(謝謝您送給我的漂亮禮物。),這樣,使人覺得你既禮貌,又誠心,從而真正達到交往的目的。下面給出兩封簡短的感謝信,一封是對朋友贈送禮物表示感謝,另一封是在對方家里小住過一段時間,離開后表達感謝的信。
Dear Sandy,When you left a package for me yesterday, I had difficulty waiting until my birthday to open it.I don’t know how to thank you for such an attractive present.It is something that will give me pleasure for a long time to come.Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.Sincerely,Susan Dear Professor Anthony,Thank you for a delightful stay.Your home is lovely, your meals delectable, and I enjoyed the fun and companionship.I am still thinking about it and enjoying it in retrospect.Many thanks again for your warm hospitality.Cordially,Tom

各位考生:
如你所知,很遺憾,教育考試服務處被迫取消1992年10月在中華人民共和國進行的托福考試成績。當時,我方通知你在1993年10月以前可免費參加在此期間的任何一次考試。你應該知道托福考試項目的長期以來的政策:當考試被取消時,不向考生退還考試費。
因此帶給您的不便,深表歉意。
