In the past, this was not an issue because most elderly persons remained at home where they could be close to family. In contemporarytimes, parents and grown children go their separate ways, staying in touch through the telephone and, more recently, through e-mail. Every year, more than 400,000 adults who are 55 or older move out of their home state and relocate.Florida leads all states in the proportion of elderly people -19 percent over 65 years of age, most of whom relocated from other places. Thus, Florida cities have become known as retirement centers. Among those prominently mentioned are Boca Raton, Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Naples, and Ocala where between 20 and 25 percent of the residents are over 65 years of age. Two other Florida cities, Saint Petersburg and Sarasota, have even higher proportions-25 percent and 32 percent respectively. Other cities that have gained reputations as retirement centers with large number of elderly are Savannah, Georgia, Prescott and Scottsdale, Arizona, Palm Springs, California, and Asheville, North Carolina.Even tourist centers like Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada, where residents pay no income tax and no inheritance or estate taxes, are attracting growing numbers of seniors.There are also many smaller private development communities that are packaged as state-of-the-art retirement communities with such amenities as golf courses, lakes for fishing and boating, cultural and recreation activities. They go by such names as Sun City Grand near Phoenix, Arizona, Sun CityPalmDesert near Palm SpringsCalifornia, Sun City Summerlin near Las Vegas, Nevada, and Ford's Colony close to Williamsburg, Virginia among others.To the extent that the proportion of retired elderly people in townsand regions continues to grow, certain consequences tend to follow. Where such communities are essentially residential, their revenue base depends largely on the individual wealth of their residents. For this reason, the economies of such communities are becoming increasingly dependent on the rise and fall of pensions, Social Security, and Medicare payments. Retirees are also likely to block future industrial development efforts since their priorities emphasize nice climate and attractive places to live and recreate. They are inclined to reject the noise and congestion that comes with new factories and the jobs they bring to the economy.题目16、1. Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?【A】:Retired People【B】:Retirement Centers【C】:The Increase of Aging Population【D】:A Demographic Trend答案:B题目17、2. According to the passage there is a growing number of aged people relocating their homes because ().【A】:they don’t need to pay taxes【B】:they could not get along with their neighbors【C】:they don’t live close to their own children【D】:they want to live their own way of life答案:C题目18、3. The words in the following mean the same thing EXCEPT for ().【A】:Retirement centers【B】:Retirement sites【C】:Retirement state【D】:Retirement communities答案:C题目19、4. What does the word “amenities” in Paragraph 2 mean?【A】:things that make life easy and pleasant【B】:activities【C】:interests【D】:agreeable features of places答案:A题目20、5. From the last paragraph it can be concluded that the continuous growth of retired people ().【A】:will contradict future industrial development【B】:will stabilize the economies of such communities【C】:will spoil the relationship between the elderly and the young 【D】:will be good for tourist industry答案:A。

(20 points) Woodblock prints 21illustrations made from a carved block of wood and printed on paper. They were first used in Japan in the 1600s to illustrate books. When readers became more and more interested in the illustrations for their artistic value, publishers 22skilled artists to 23prints which could be sold separately. By the end of the seventeenth century, techniques were developed to produce many copies of a print from the same woodblock, 24this fine art available to the general public. The most famous Japanese woodblock prints were made during the 1700s and 1800s. The styles were unique 25Japan. Scenes from everyday life or the theatre, beautiful women, and landscapes were often the subjects of these prints. The Japanese name ukiyo-e, meaning “pictures from the floating world,” 26used to describe the famous woodblock prints from this era: This 27images of fleeting moments of pleasure, amusement, and entertainment captured by the artists. Later, European artists, particularly painters of the French Impressionist School, admired and were influenced by the bold colors and unusual designs of these Japanese woodblock prints.28 a woodblock print has three major stages: cutting, inking, and 29. First the artist takes a block of soft wood, usually pine, and cuts away parts of the wood with a sharp tool. The design is the part of the wood 30. is left uncut and upraised.

For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)Questions 31~35 are based on the Passage 1.Passage 1When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to thebackground and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.31. We should take good care of our eyes.A.only when we can see wellB.only when we cannot see perfectlyC.even if we can see wellD.only when we realize how important our eyes are32. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清), one is probably.A.near-sightedB.far-sightedC.astigmaticD.suffering from cataracts33. The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means.A.experienceB.imagineC.feel painD.are affected with34. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for.A.seeing at nightB.seeing objects far awayC.looking over a wide areaD.judging distances35.People who suffer from astigmatism have.A.one eye bigger than the otherB.eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC.a difficulty that can be corrected by an operatioD.an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses CADDBQuestions 36~40 are based on the Passage 2.Passage 2To Whom It May ConcernMy husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she's working for.”But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I canbuy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how .Can you give me some advice?

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 1I’ve been writing for most of my life. Th e book Writing without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pagesas the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.41. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means ________.[A] no one can be both creative and critical[B] they cannot be regarded as equally important[C] they are in constant conflict with each other[D] one cannot use them at the same time42. What prevents people from writing on is ________.[A] putting their ideas in raw form[B] attempting to edit as they write[C] ignoring grammatical soundness[D] trying to capture fleeting thoughts43. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?[A] To organize one’s thoughts logically.[B] To choose an appropriate topic.[C] To get one’s ideas down.[D] To collect raw materials.44. One common concern of writers about “free writing” is that ________.[A] it overstresses the role of the creative mind[B] it takes too much time to edit afterwards[C] it may bring about too much criticism[D] it does not help them to think clearly45. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?[A] It refines his writing into better shape.[B] It helps him to come up with new ideas.[C] It saves the writing time available to him.[D] It allows him to sit on the side and observe.Passage 2Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.46.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be __________.[A] its power source [B] its driving system[C] its monitoring system [D] its seating capacity47. What is the author’s main concern?[A] How to render automobiles pollution-free.[B] How to make smaller and safer automobiles.[C] How to solve the problem of traffic jams.[D] How to develop an automated subway system.48. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?[A] A rail. [B] An engine.[C] A retractable arm. [D] A computer controller.49. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is __________.[A] keep in the right lane[B] wait to arrive at his destination[C] keep in constant touch with the computer center[D] inform the system of his destination by phone50. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?[A] Enthusiastic. [B] Pessimistic. [C] Optimistic. [D] Cautious.Passage 3The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.51. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that__________.[A] those countries encourage people to have large families[B] people can get government support if they have more kids[C] improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly[D] those countries have enough resources to support a large population52. The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values __________.[A] in carrying out family planning [B] in producing birth control drugs[C] in improving public health standards [D] in introducing birth control techniques53. A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to __________.[A] a rise in work efficiency [B] a shortage of farm workers[C] a decline in grain production [D] a reduction in average income54. Some people believe that population control in developed countries may __________.[A] increase market demand [B] lower unemployment rate[C] slow down economic growth [D] create more job opportunities55. According to the writer, developed countries prefer __________.[A] a standstill population [B] a fast increasing population[C] a slowly growing population [D] a steadily decreasing populationIV.

(20 points)Questions 31~35 are based on the Passage 1.Passage 1When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. Itis only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem.They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want todo much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactlythe right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eyesees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.31. We should take good care of our eyes .A.only when we can see wellB.only when we cannot see perfectlyC.even if we can see wellD.only when we realize how important our eyes are32. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清), one isprobably .A.near-sightedB.far-sightedC.astigmaticD.suffering from cataracts33.

Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .A.seeing at nightB.seeing objects far awayC.looking over a wide areaD.judging distances35.People who suffer from astigmatism have .A.one eye bigger than the otherB.eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC.a difficulty that can be corrected by an operatioD.an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesCADDBQuestions 36~40 are based on the Passage 2.Passage 2To Whom It May ConcernMy husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she's working for.”But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how .Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?Please help.36. The letter was most probable written .A.in 1975B.around 1980C.four years agoD.in 196537.

She wished that he was easy to please as her mother, whowas always delighted with perfume (香水),Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experienee: people trod on yourtoes, poked (戳)you with their elbows and almost kno cked you over in their haste to get to a barga inahead of you.Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a coun ter where some attractive ties were on display.——They are real silk, II the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. double the price. II But Edith—Wortl knew from the past experienee that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.IShe moved on relucta ntly and the n quite by cha nee, stopped where a small crowd of men hadgathered round a coun ter. She found some good quality pipes on sale and the prices were very reas onable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasi on ally, she knew thatthis was a prese nt, which was bound to please him._When she got home, with her small well chose n prese nt con cealed in her han dbag, her pare ntswere already at the supper table.

It has bee n known to man for at least 3,000 years, but has come into com mon use only in modern times. Un til quite recen tly it was con sidered as a medicine and 日luxury for the very rich only.LSugar is, then, very important to our civilization. But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. This com mon form of sugar is derived from two pla nts: the sugar cane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows underground. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hun dreds of differe nt varieties, each coming from a differe nt source. About 90% of the sugar produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food product ion. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics .In the future these pote ntial uses will certa inly be developed more than in the past. I There are many reas ons why we should in crease the product ion of sugar. Most importa nt is that it is one of the most highly concen trated of en ergy foods. Thus sugarcane and beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre .In this way they have the adva ntage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000, while figure for wheat and bea ns is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land grow ing wheat and potatoes give only slightly more en ergy tha n one acre of sugar.36. The head ing of Paragraph one may be __________ .A.What sugar isB.Sugar Through the AgesC.The Adva ntages of SugarD.Prese nt and Future Uses of Sugar37. The third paragraph emphasizes ___________ .A.about 90% of sugar used as foodB.only 10% used in in dustryC. sugar used for making plasticsD.future uses of sugar38. Sugar has bee n used widely __________ .A.for 3,000 yearsB.i n moder n timesC.quite recen tlyD.for 300 years39. How many com mon forms of sugar are exemplified in this passage? _______ .A.One.B.Two.C.One hun dred.D.Several hun dreds.40. The main reas on why we should in crease the producti on of sugar is _______ .A.it tastes sweetB.we can save ple nty of landC.we can get more en ergyD. it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foodV.

The experienee is not unlike driving through the American Midwest, only rice not corndomin ates the Ian dscape.Four years ago, whe n I last took this trip, the roads were dust and telepho ne wires did not run parallel to the highway. Bare roads have bee n replaced by sleek, n ewly paved highways running from Shan ghai to Nanking, to my smaller, home city, Wuhu. Un like the changes I had heard of and expected in Shanghai, Wuhu was much more of a surprise. The small city where I was born had grown up as I have. There are large high-rise buildings, each ringed with smaller buildings around it, many of these apartment complexes. Little seemed familiar and I wonder what my grandparent's flat built of brick and mortar had become.Perhaps I should n't have bee n surprised to find out that their home had bee n demolished and rebuilt as a six-story apartment complex as well. Walking up to the second floor I saw my grandfather's face peering out of the screen door. He began to smile as he saw me, and so did I. Their home is now no different from a western apartme nt. Equipped with the moder n ame nities of a gas stove, a toilet, a shower, this was in deed differe nt from four years ago.36.

The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth 24 story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care 25 elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied 26 the American family is changing.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three 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 1The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or at high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have app ealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’ money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters(节食者)with the message that there were fewer calories(热量单位,卡路里)in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.41. Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by __________.[A] stressing their high quality[B] convincing him of their low price[C] maintaining a balance between quality and price[D] appealing to his buying motives42. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that __________.[A] thin slices of bread could contain more calories[B] the loaf was cut into regular slices[C] the bread was not genuine bread[D] the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same43. The passage tells us that __________.[A] sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs[B] advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t need[C] the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements[D] fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment44. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should __________.[A] think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements[B] guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements[C] be familiar with various advertising strategies[D] avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal45. The passage is mainly about __________.[A] how to make a wise buying decision[B] ways to protect the interests of the consumer[C] the positive and negative aspects of advertising[D] the function of advertisements in promoting salesPassage 2Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.46.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be __________.[A] its power source [B] its driving system[C] its monitoring system [D] its seating capacity47. What is the author’s main concern?[A] How to render automobiles pollution-free.[B] How to make smaller and safer automobiles.[C] How to solve the problem of traffic jams.[D] How to develop an automated subway system.48. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?[A] A rail. [B] An engine.[C] A retractable arm. [D] A computer controller.49. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is __________.[A] keep in the right lane[B] wait to arrive at his destination[C] keep in constant touch with the computer center[D] inform the system of his destination by phone50. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?[A] Enthusiastic. [B] Pessimistic. [C] Optimistic. [D] Cautious.Passage 3As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill”and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.”In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.51. Today medical care is placing more stress on __________.[A] keeping people in a healthy physical condition[B] monitoring patients’ body functions[C] removing people’s bad living habits[D] ensuring people’s psychological well-being52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that __________.[A] good health is more than not being ill[B] drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful[C] regular health checks are essential to keeping fit[D] prevention is more difficult than cure53. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he __________.[A] does not have any unhealthy living habits[B] does not have any physical handicaps[C] is able to handle his daily routines[D] is free from any kind of disease54. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people __________.[A] to best satisfy their body’s special needs[B] to strive to maintain the best possible health[C] to meet the strictest standards of bodily health[D] to keep a proper balance between work and leisure55. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?[A] People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.[B] People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.[C] People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.[D] People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical careIV.

It also cuts down 21stress and protects the body's immune system. But for many people, the word exercise conjures up hours of boring, strenuous activity. Recently, 22 scientific studies have found that health benefits can be achieved with non-strenuous exercise.This is very encouraging news for all those people 23thought they had to be athletes or work as hard as athletes to make exercise worth it. The new guidelines say that every adult should do at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week. And these 30 minutes can even be broken down 24smaller segments during the day. The important thing is to be 25and make exercise part of your daily life.There are many ways to achieve this 26buying expensive equipment or joining a health club. Walking is one of the best ways to get exercise. Try to go 27 a walk after lunch or dinner to boost your metabolism and work 28some calories. If possible, walk all or part of the way to work or school. Use the stairs instead of the elevator 29you can. Gardening, raking leaves, and dancing are also good activities. (However, walking to the coffee or vending machine doesn't count!) As for sports, even if tennis or golf don't appeal 30you, hiking and cycling can be relaxing and beneficial too.21.

(20 points)Questions 31~35 are based on the Passage 1.Passage 1The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Rob ert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department's programmes. There's great demand for them,” he answered.The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,”he finally said, “I may have made a smallmistake.”Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.31. In the story the Financial Controller was a person who was in charge of.A.Robert's department's programmesB.EBC programmes.C.EBC moneyD.both B and C32. “Your request is out of the question.”Here “out of the question”means.A.without any questionB.with some questionC.impossibleD.possible33.

The experience is not unlike driving through the American Midwest, only rice not corn dominates the landscape.Four years ago, when I last took this trip, the roads were dust and telephone wires did not run parallel to the highway. Bare roads have been replaced by sleek, newly paved highways running from Shanghai to Nanking, to my smaller, home city, Wuhu. Unlike the changes I had heard of and expected in Shanghai, Wuhu was much more of a surprise. The small city where I was born had grown up as I have. There are large high-rise buildings, each ringed with smaller buildings around it, many of these apartment complexes. Little seemed familiar and I wonder what my grandparent's flat built of brick and mortar had become.Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised to find out that their home had been demolished and rebuilt as a six-story apartment complex as well. Walking up to the second floor I saw my grandfather's face peering out of the screen door. He began to smile as he saw me, and so did I. Their home is now no different from a western apartment. Equipped with the modern amenities of a gas stove, a toilet, a shower, this was indeed different from four years ago.36. According to the author, dramatic changes took place in .A.cities but not countryside of ChinaB.both cities and countryside of ChinaC.countryside but not in large citiesD.everywhere37. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that .A.peasants lead similar life all over the worldB.Chinese irrigating system is more impressing than that in AmericaC.peasants in Midwest America raise more corns while Chinese peasants raise more riceD.peasants in Midwest America raise more rice while Chinese peasants raise more corn38.

The author's grand parents .A.live in their house of brick and mortarB.live in an apartment similar to westernersC.led a totally westernized lifeD.was poor as they always were40.

They were first used in Japan in the 1600s to illustrate books. When readers became more and more interested in the illustrations for their artistic value, publishers 22skilled artists to 23prints which could be sold separately. By the end of the seventeenth century, techniques were developed to produce many copies of a print from the same woodblock, 24this fine art available to the general public. The most famous Japanese woodblock prints were made during the 1700s and 1800s. The styles were unique 25Japan. Scenes from everyday life or the theatre, beautiful women, and landscapes were often the subjects of these prints. The Japanese name ukiyo-e, meaning “pictures from the floating world,” 26used to describe the famous woodblock prints from this era: This 27images of fleeting moments of pleasure, amusement, and entertainment captured by the artists. Later, European artists, particularly painters of the French Impressionist School, admired and were influenced by the bold colors and unusual designs of these Japanese woodblock prints.28 a woodblock print has three major stages: cutting, inking, and 29. First the artist takes a block of soft wood, usually pine, and cuts away parts of the wood with a sharp tool. The design is the part of the wood 30. is left uncut and upraised.

For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)Questions 31~35 are based on the Passage 1.Passage 1When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.31. We should take good care of our eyes.A.only when we can see wellB.only when we cannot see perfectlyC.even if we can see wellD.only when we realize how important our eyes are32. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清), one is probably.A.near-sightedB.far-sightedC.astigmaticD.suffering from cataracts33. The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means.A.experienceB.imagineC.feel painD.are affected with34. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for.A.seeing at nightB.seeing objects far awayC.looking over a wide areaD.judging distances35.People who suffer from astigmatism have.A.one eye bigger than the otherB.eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC.a difficulty that can be corrected by an operatioD.an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesQuestions 36~40 are based on the Passage 2.Passage 2To Whom It May ConcernMy husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, ―My clever little wife can run that company she's working for.‖But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how .Can you give me some advice?
