Listening Comprehension (20 minutes)

Directions: In this section, you will hear 10 short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a third voice will ask a question about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.

Part Ⅱ

Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. “The e-book promises to wreak a slow havoc(浩劫) on life as we know it,” Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment(评估), university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons ( 赞成和反对的理由 ) of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up (蜷曲)with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.

They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable(不可生物降解)trash.

On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing.

In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society's approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue(疲劳), be sure the “have-nots” get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.

21. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage? 

A) Draw people's attention to the disadvantages of e-books. 

B) Call on people to reject e-books.

C) Criticize schools and business that don't provide e-books.

D) Encourage people to use e-books. 

22. What is Jason Ohler's attitude towards e-books?

A) Positive. B) Indifferent. C) Cautious. D) Suspicious. 

23. In what sense do e-books exert a negative impact on the environment?

A) They are unable to be broken down into harmless products. 

B) They consume a lot of natural resources. 

C) They produce harmful gases. 

D) They are capable of being reused. 

24. What is e-books' negative impact on social relationships?

A) They create new jobs only for writers. 

B) Fewer and fewer people have access to new technology. 

C) They may threaten some traditional trades. 

D) They isolate people from one another. 

25. What does Ohler suggest regarding the use of e-books?

A) The society should ensure the poor have access to the technology. 

B) The society should ban the use of e-books if they cannot reduce eye fatigue.

C) The society should approve of the use of e-books if they are made recyclable. D) The schools should solve the present problems of e-books. 

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

When they marry, husbands and wives have well-developed health histories and well-established congenital(天生的)and developmental propensities(嗜好) toward good and ill health. Substantial research suggests that, given the existing health propensity and health condition of an individual at a particular time, his or her probability of better or worse future health is affected by a variety of socially mediated factors that are subject to influence or manipulation by his or her spouse.Spouses can promote each other's health by ameliorating(改善)psychological stress. A substantial literature develops strong evidence that psychological stress causes illness, increases mortality risk, and serves as an important mechanism that links socioeconomic characteristics to health and mortality. Stress-reducing mechanisms include removal of sources of stress, and management of stress by talking about it to a trusted other person, psychiatric treatment, physical exercise, recreation and other means. A spouse can provide or encourage all of these stress-reducing behaviors. Spouses also can promote each other's health by providing each other with supportive social contact, and they can facilitate or inhibit each other's social contact with supportive others. Evidence suggests that health is greatly advanced by supportive social contacts, including positive interaction with relatives, friends, coworkers and acquaintances. Recent experimental data shows that persons with more diverse social networks are more resistant to experimentally introduced upper respiratory viruses than persons with less diverse social networks.Spouses can also promote each other's health by providing each other with money income, and they can help each other manage money income effectively. Money does not buy health directly, but it can be used to purchase goods and services that make good health more likely. These goods and services include nutritious food, a hygienic and safe environment, medical care, and amenities that reduce psychological stress. Unless estranged(使疏远)or unusually wealthy, husbands and wives almost always share their financial resources and purchases and consume many of these health-promoting goods and services jointly. In short, there are many ways in which spouses can influence each other's probability of good health. 

26. What is the passage mainly about?

A) How can spouses promote each other's health.

B) The spouse's probability of future health.

C) Effects of spouse's employment and hours of work on each other's health. 

D) Spouses influence each other in various ways. 

27. According to the author, what is the most effective way for the husband to reduce psychological stress? 

A) To talk to other person. B) To go to see psychiatrist. 

C) To enjoy. D) To talk with his wife. 

28. Which one is the suitable summary of paragraph 1? 

A) Spouse's influence is of vital importance to each other's health. 

B) Spouse's influence has nothing to do with health. 

C) Healthy spouses will remain health after their marriage. 

D) There are a variety of socially mediated factors. 

29. How can money make good health? 

A) Money can buy health directly. 

B) Spouses can manage money income effectively. 

C) Money can provide spouses with goods and services, which is likely to make good health. 

D) Husbands and wives share everything. 

30. Which of the following is likely to make spouses in ill health?

A) Positive interaction with relatives. 

B) Appropriate physical exercise. 

C) Few social networks. 

D) Nutritious food. 

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work .So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery(烹饪术)and look for a job where you can improve these skills.

If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle(运用)tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

31. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?

A) The importance of doing well at school.

B) Using school performance to help to choose a career.

C) The importance of being good at all subjects.

D) The indirect value of schoolwork. 

32. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ____.

A) a waste of time that could have been spent on study

B) useful for his future work

C) a good way to earn extra money

D) a good way to find out his weak points 

33. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ____.

A) will be a complete failure in his future work

B) will not be able to find a suitable job

C) will regret not having worked harder at school

D) may do well in his future work 

34. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?

•  Mathematics. B. English.

C. Technical Drawing. D. History. 

35. The whole passage centers on ____.

A) choosing a career according to what one is skilled in

B) acquiring knowledge by working hard at school

C) finding one's strong and weak points

D) developing one's abilities useful in school work 

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone's experience in the organization.

Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Merch. Coleman says that based on what he's seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image, 30%; and exposure, a full 60%. Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won't secure you the big promotion.Ridiculous(荒谬的,可笑的)beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales have dropped from their eyes. “Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs,” says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. “They think that if you work hard, you'll get ahead that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion.” She added, “Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they've gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility.” Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight(公众注意中心).

He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.

A) the opinions, which contradict the established beliefs

B) criticisms that shape everyone's experience

C) the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eye

D) the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization

D) perform well your tasks given by your superiors 

38. The reason why women and blacks play down their visibility is that they____.

A) Know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotion

B) Don't want people to think that their promotions were due to sex or color

C) Don't want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefs

D) Believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color 

39. Why does Harvey Coleman have these “Ridiculous belief”?

A) He is an ironical person.

B) He was mistreated by someone in authority.

C) He has the privilege of experiencing those procedures himself.

D) He is one of the minorities. 

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to __ 71 __the attention and interest of your students, you must be a __ 72 __ speaker, with a good, strong, __ 73 __ voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to __ 74 __ what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. __ 75 __ a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still __ 76 __ his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his __ 77 __, hands an fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.

Section B

Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists used to think that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They now know that animals can learn-dogs, rats, birds, and worms can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some things more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five-but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain. 

22. 答案C。A)肯定的。B)漠不关心的。C)审慎的。D)怀疑的。此题考推导观点态度。第一段提出电子书籍的远期负面影响,又在最后一段谈论电子书籍获取社会认可批准的几个先决条件。这说明他对电子书籍持谨慎态度,既不盲目接受,也不一概反对。 

37. 答案C。 A)为你们上司当顾问。B)给你周围同事留下好印象。C)让上司知道你的工作干得是多么好。D)出色完成上司交给你的任务。这实际上是科尔曼的观点。在第二段,作者引用了科尔曼的观点,在他看来,人的成功百分之六十靠的是宣扬自己(exposure),他认为,能做好工作的人今天司空见惯,虽然做好工作可能提高工资,但是却不一定能带来实质性的晋升,晋升更多地取决于:有多少人了解你,了解你的工作,了解你的人在公司里地位的高低(how high up they are)。

38. 答案B。 A)知道当权者会下基层给他们提升。B)不想让人认为他们的晋升是出于性别和皮肤原因。C)不想给别人留下在错误想法下工作的印象。D)相信他们会因为性别和肤色而得以升迁。最后一段指出,科尔曼的观点是否有点荒唐呢?对于许多人来说,特别是对妇女和像科尔曼这样的少数民族的人来说并不荒唐,因为他们感到自己已看到事情的本质(the scales have dropped from their eyes)。贾米森在纽约做管理顾问,帮助公司处理这方面的事务,她说:“公司工作的妇女和黑人经常有些错误认识,认为只要努力工作,就会有晋升的机会和外快,给你升职。妇女和黑人大都害怕人们会认为他们升职是因为自己的性别或肤色,所以他们尽量不出头露面宣扬自己(play down their visibility)。”对于这些人,她的忠告是:学学男人白人们引人注目(find their way into the spotlight)的一贯做法。

College Students and Mobile Phone

With the development of telecommunication technology and economy, more and more people become appreciating the convenience of mobile phone. We may notice that the number of college students using mobile phone around us is increasing drastically every year. One reason is that the price of mobile phone, together with communication fee is decreasing year by year. Almost every one can afford it. In addition, mobile phone manufacturers periodically promote newly developed mobile phones, such as color-screen mobile phone, can-listen-mp3 mobile phone etc., which as a matter of fact stimulate the purchasing desire of potential users, especially college students.

However, mobile phone also brings about many problems. For instance, mobile phone noise is always irritating when it unexpectedly rings in the classroom where many students are concentrating on study. Moreover, mobile phone expense increases students' economic burden, which they originally can use to buy some reference books.

Undoubtedly, everything has its advantage and disadvantage, just like “ every blade has its two edges ” . Given the aspect of convenience, personally, I think it is recommendable that college students use mobile phone in this information era.
