Part III. Reading Comprehension (40 points; 55 minutes)?
Section 1
Directions: Each of the following three passages is followed by some questions. For
each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each
question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One?
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
For the past twenty years, poll-takers (民意测验者) have told us that the vast
majority of Americans report that they are ―satisfied‖ or ―very satisfied‖ with their
jobs. But, when the surveys pose a slightly different question—―If you had to do it
over, would you choose the same line of work?‖—sixty percent of working
Americans say they would choose another occupation. This seems to tell us that
Americans feel that they are supposed to like their jobs but, in reality, they don’t.
Most of us are stuck in jobs we’d prefer not to have. And some of us actually hate
what we do.
How does this happen in a land where citizens are presumably free to do, and
become, anything they want? First of all, some of us didn’t deliberately choose our
jobs but simply fell into them. Later, there was never time to find out what we really
wanted to do.
Another reason people dislike their jobs is the result of a change in the American

economy. A hundred years ago most Americans worked for themselves on farms or in
small stores and workshops. Now, less than 10 percent of us are self-employed. Many
of us work as cogs (轮牙) in the wheels of giant corporations. We don’t make a
finished product with our own hands, and we feel that we are totally replaceable parts
in the machine. Social scientists say that the happiest workers are the ones who are
their own bosses—business owners, executives, and professionals. Working for a big
company often results in a sense of powerlessness and malaise. Finally, being a
member of the baby boom generation increases the chances of job dissatisfaction. In
the struggle for careers among the members of this large population ―bulge‖, many
people are losing out in the competition. These individuals may never achieve the
standard of living their parents achieved, or go as far up the success ladder as they had
hoped. The result is bitterness, and a feeling of being trapped in a ―nowhere‖ job.
41. The best title for this selection is __________.
A. Job Satisfaction
B. Why People Hate Their Jobs
C. Nowhere Jobs
D. A Change in the Workplace
42. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the selection? __________.
A. Job burnout is a growing problem
B. Large companies provide many benefits for workers
C. Workers are unhappy because they no longer work with their hands
D. There are several reasons why workers are unhappy with their jobs

43. According to the passage, the majority of Americans __________.
A. would choose another occupation if they could begin again
B. are self-employed
C. feel that they are supposed to dislike their jobs
D. work in factories
44. The author implies that __________.
A. job dissatisfaction is a sign of laziness
B. the baby-boomers despise their parents
C. polls can be misleading
D. working for a corporation is very satisfying
45. The word ―malaise‖ (Line7, Para. 3) means __________.
A. depression B. fulfillment
C. contentment D. significance
Passage Two
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness or ignorance. Forest fire
prevention, therefore, is mainly a problem of creating better understanding of the
importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods, and a sense of
personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger. This is not an easy job.
Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year. Many of
these are started when cigarette butts (烟蒂) and matches are thrown from

automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers (徒步旅行者), fishermen, or woods
workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service
has posted rules in many of the National Forests that prohibit smoking except in
certain designated areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted
materials from automobiles. The prevention of smoker-caused fires, however, depends
upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people who smoke in
hazardous areas.
The most important natural cause of fire is lightning (闪电). This accounts for 11
percent of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation. In the Western States,
lightning causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East.
Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping forest protection forces to
know when to be alert to lightning-caused fires. Adequate and well-equipped forces
can control them quickly and hold the damage to a minimum. Experiments in
―seeding‖ thunder clouds to prevent or control the lightning itself have been in
process for many years, but new breakthroughs are needed for any significant
reduction in the fires lightning starts.
46. This passage is chiefly about __________.
A. smoking in forests
B. changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people
C. the chief causes of forest fires and their prevention
D. advances in knowledge of fire weather
47. Preventing smoker-caused forest fires is mainly a problem of __________.
A. building the proper knowledge and habits in human beings
B. safeguarding the forests from fire
C. posting rules in forests
D. holding the damage to a minimum
48. Lightning-caused fires can be controlled quickly by __________.
A. holding the fire damage to a minimum
B. people who have changed their attitudes and behavior
C. enough fire fighters with good fire-fighting devices
D. carrying out experiments in ―seeding‖ thunder clouds
49. ―Alert to‖ (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means __________.
A. aware of B. watchful for
C. responsible for D. busy with
50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? __________.
A. It is difficult to prevent forest fires
B. Smoking is allowed only in certain forests
C. 11% of the forest fires in the Western States are caused by lightning
D. Experiments in ―seeding‖ thunder clouds have helped reduce lightning-caused
forest fires
Passage Three
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did
not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about

the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much
attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new
products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work
place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention
of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were
doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which
governments could not ignore．At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of
the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of
these inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died
or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and
workers. In the U. S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes
and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft
producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that
companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then
reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety
of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent
every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are
safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better.
Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and
use their products．

main topic of the passage is _________.
A. conditions in the work place B. the freedom of industries in the past
C. changes in industrial production D. the safety and health of workers and
customers
52. It can be inferred from the passage that in the past _________.
A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions
B. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to
C. many people were killed by dangerous products
D. industries were as careful in management as they are today
53. It is implied in the passage that _________.
A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products
B. governments paid little attention to the safety of products
C. government officials often did not listen to scientists
D. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments
54. Some years ago safety rules _________.
A. were put forward due to scientists’ recommendations
B. came into being as a result of the workers’ demands
C. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously
injured
D. were effective enough to protect workers and customers
55. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT

by _________.
A. testing new products B. controlling the sale of products
C. designing new products D. inspecting work places

Passage Four?
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
When someone who is in good health dies suddenly, there is usually an inquest.
An inquest is a kind of court inquiry. The person in charge of an inquest is called
a coroner (验尸官). His job is to find out exactly how a person died.
If there is nothing suspicious (怀疑的) about the death, he would decide that the
person died from natural causes or an accident. If, however, he is suspicious, he may
decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown.
At one inquest, the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the
death of a local businessman, Henry Smith.
The man’s widow was offering the evidence. She was very upset and had to stop
from time to time.
The coroner did not want to upset her more than necessary, but he had to find out
the truth. There were questions he had to ask her.
―Mrs. Smith, I know this is too much for you,‖ he said, ―but I want you to think
very carefully and then answer my questions.‖
―You and your husband were having dinner at home. Is that correct?‖
―Yes.‖
―Suddenly he fell to the floor.‖
―Yes.‖
―Did he say anything?‖
The widow lowered her head.
―Please, Mrs. Smith, you must answer the question. What were his last words?‖
The widow took a deep breath and then spoke. ―He said,‖ she whispered, ―I’m
not surprised you were charged only 50 cents for that seafood we had for dinner.‖
( ) 56. An inquest is done in one’s home.
( ) 57. The coroner decides on the nature of a person’s death.
( ) 58. The coroner was very careful in asking Mrs. Smith questions so as not to
upset her.
( ) 59. Mrs. Smith was quick to tell the truth.
( ) 60. The bad seafood was responsible for Mr. Smith’s death.

passage with five questions or incomplete
statements. Read the passage carefully. Then

answer the questions or complete the
statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words) . Write your
answers on the Answer Sheet of Paper Two. （请将此部分的答案写在试卷二的答
题纸上）
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
All of us communicate with one another nonverbally as well as with words. Most
of the time we’re not aware that we’re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or hands,
meet someone else’s eyes and look away, or change positions in a chair. These actions
we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that
there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.

One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful
about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each
eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two
Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate.
Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.
Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body
movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an
American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing
something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: when a
student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than
usual it can be a sign of respect, it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority, or it
can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not
for a separate meaningful gesture.
Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with
words.
61. How can people communicate with each other besides language?
____________ __________________________________________________ ___
62. Like language, gesture is
________ ___________________________________________.
63. According to the second paragraph, an American will feel uncomfortable if
someone ________________________________________________ __________________
64. If a student holds his professor’s eyes a little longer in a conversation, what can it
mean?
__________ __________________________________________________ ______

五 150 1. 为什么应该使得父母幸福
2. 如何做才能使得父母幸福
When we were young, we'd look out at the audience during school plays, hoping to see
our parents' proud, smiling faces. Although their expectations have changed since then, it's still
easy to make parents happy
Listen respectfully when your parents talk to you. Take their advice to heart, complete
requests quickly and even ask how their day went. Keep your eyes off the television and remove
the stereo headphones from your ears to give them your undivided attention.
Try your hardest at everything you do, whether it's school, work, sports or even household
chores. Even if you don't come home with perfect grades or don't make the varsity squad, for
example, they won't be disappointed if they're sure you put in your best effort.
Do your chores without a reminder. Nagging you to take out the trash or straighten your
room can put your mom on edge. Consistently complete your tasks and offer to help with theirs
when you can.
Hang out with your parents whenever possible. Although it's great for them to have time
alone together, they'll be happy to know you enjoy seeing movies, having leisurely dinners or
walking around the mall with them.

十 150 1你在英语学习中有些什么经验 2你想怎样进一步加强英语学习

As far as we know, a lot of students are not good at English, because, in their opinion,
learning English is very boring.
I think the number one problem is vocabulary. I believe that we can learn English words by
heart through reading. If we read so many articles, we can remember lots of words. And we also
can watch English movies and listen to the English songs to enlarge our vocabulary and increase
our listening skills. In language learning, the sense of language is important than grammar, so it is
important for us in reading comprehension. What’s more, we can try to communicate with people

十五150 1人是否应该有理想，为什么？2你的理想是什么
Different people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future.
Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lowers when they
grow up in the days to come.
Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for I will
be looked upon by others. Anyway ,what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to
agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only
a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing
vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to
farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more prosperous.

can we feel as if we were living in a big and happy family, then our society will develop

十八150 1你为什么要上大学2你在大学怎样做？
Students long to attend colleges or universities for various reasons. In my opinion, the most
common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences and learn to be independent.
Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the
primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive and in order to be
employed in the future they have to be well equipped with knowledge and skills.
Also, students go to colleges or universities to have experiences and learn to live on their own.
Going to colleges often means having the opportunity to meet with different people from different
parts of the country. They learn to communicate and co-operate with each other. For most students,
we guess, it is the first time that they have been away from home. They are faced with many new
situations and have to learn to solve them independently, making decisions on their own and
dealing with various things themselves. So colleges and universities help them grow up

二十150 1小孩是否应该有零花钱，为什么?2你怎样利用零花钱
Kids have a long way to go in their lives. What they will be depend on the influence that they
get before the age of 20. We must give them positive influence during their childhood.
We should give a kid a little money when he is 9 years old. For instance, we can give a kid 10

yuan every month, and ask him to write us a report on how he uses the money. This can give him a
right idea of how he should use the money.
We also should give the kids some chances to earn money, by which means we can show
them that earning money is not easy, and they should spend the money carefully.
The most important point is that we must tell the kids that money is not everything in our
lives. There are lots of things that we can not buy with money, such as health and love.
Consequently, the best we could do to provide the kids with a correct understanding of
money is let them approach money closely. We should give a little money to the kids and tell them
what money is at all.

etc. The books I read can be about anything. When I read, I am absorbed in the story, and as if I

二十八150 1许多人喜欢春节晚会.2有些人想取消春节晚会.3你的看法。
Many people like to watch Spring Festival Gala. On the Festival Eve, people get together and
sit around the TV set to watch the performances. Spring Festival They like it because it gives us
not only sight feast but also entertainment, but as the old saying goes every coin has two sides
other people don’t think highly of it .There many kinds of programs and many famous singers,
dancers, actors and actresses appear on the stage. People are happy and enjoy themselves very
much. But many people say that the Spring Festival Gala should stop. They think the programs are
almost the same every year, and the form is also out of date. I like the Gala and I want it to go on.
as far as I am concerned I prefer to watch it .because we can see a lot of superstars, some good
programmers and also give some education about our Chinese culture. Now People in charge of it

should try their best to improve it. The programs can be conducted and performed better in order
to enable people to enjoy it more.

三十150 1为什么要节约水2你怎么样节约水
As we all know, water is so valuable that we human beings can’t go without it so all of us
should have responsibility to save water. There are many ways to save water. One is to reuse water.
For example, when we wash hands, we'd better use basins so that we can reuse the water to clean
toilet. Another way to save water is not to waste any drop of clean water. Don't forget to turn off
the water pipe. One more way to save water is to save products that are made out ofin water and
products that need water in their production.

三十二150 1你在哪里度过的童年。2你觉得你的童年如何。
Childhood is an important stage in one life, some have happy childhoods but others don’t.
As far as I am concerned, I had a very happy childhood, I spent my childhood in the countryside
with my grandpa and grandma, because my parents were busy with their work, they had no time to
take care of me, but though parents couldn’t be with me in my childhood, I had a very happy one
in the countryside. I didn't study very hard, but my basic knowledge is quite OK. I hade lot of
close friends, and we played together every day, for example catching fish, swimming in the lake,
climbing hills and so on, after so many years, I still miss there . In my spare time I enjoyed myself
very much, swimming in the Songhua River in summer and playing with ice and snow in winter.
Then I went to middle school and my happy, carefree childhood ended.
三十三150 1人在社会上为什么要诚信2怎么做才能算诚信
When it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a person’s character
and success.
They base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful business owes much
to mutual trust; on another hand, great people in history such as Abraham Lincoln and Genete
Washington set us good examples of being honest, they are great because they are honest.
But some people think differently. They believe honesty is becoming out of date. Their

reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is becoming more and more popular;
in addition, some singers and movie stars cheat on taxes; last but not the least, if you are not
careful enough, you’ll buy some defective goods and fake products.
It is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty. We can take effective measures to
restore it. For example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and regulations should be
carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.

三十五150 1英语的重要性。2我们应当如何做。
English is becoming more and more important in the world. When you turn on the radio or TV,
you can see and hear many programs in English. Important international conferences are held in
English. Many books, newspapers, magazines and journals are published in English. So if you
don’t know English, it will be very difficult for you to do anything important in the world.
In China, English is spoken as an important and useful foreign language. The 2008 Olympics
will be hosted in Beijing. Many foreigners will come to China. We should try our best to serve the
Olympics. For example, we can help the foreign visitors if we learn English well.
People all over the world are learning English. The Chinese people are no exception. Pupils
and students study English at primary school, middle school and university. We should study
English hard and try our best to have a good command of the language.
三十六80 1有关这个电影2你的看法
I Remember Mama is my favorite American movie. Education has been a primary concern in
many traditional families. In I Remember Mama, Martha and her husband Lars show high respect
for education. Especially Martha, she plays an influential role within her family. She tells her
children that knowledge is priceless.
They invite Mr. Hyde to read them books in the evening. Although Mr. Hyde has left them a
collection of his books without getting paid a couple months of rents, Martha does not get angry
with him. Instead, she tells her children that the value of all of his books have greatly exceeded the
total amount of his unpaid rents. Nevertheless, Martha and Lars always encourage and support
their children to keep on pursing their educational goals.
It is very important for children to understand their family values.

remember the days that we spent together, it was a really pleasant time in my life, we all get
together to study ,chat ,play. Whenever I met with some difficulties in my study, he would always
help me very patiently. I was slow in moths and he explained the problems for me in detail. He

was not very good at English and I helped him make sentences. It seems to us that worries and
sufferings don't exist in the world, but now 5years has passed though we don’t keep in touch too
frequently because of our busy job but you are always deep in my heart .you and our once sweet
time always appear in my dream. now we all have family wife and child .we change so much ,but
I am so longing to see you again can we meet again and have good time together. I am really

三十八80 1你所面临的几种选择。2每种选择的利弊。
Some students have choices after graduating. As to me, I am deter mined to further my
studies abroad and I am fully supported by my parents. I have many reasons for my choice. The
fundamental one is that in a developed country I can enrich my mind with most advanced
professional knowledge in my specialty. I believe that the more I learn, the better equipped I will
be with modern knowledge, and the more probably I will succeed in my pursuit. Some people
suggest that I work while studying. Well, that might be a good idea. However, I would like to see
more of the world when I am young, and I think three or four years' study will undoubtedly benefit
my whole life. In addition, I am sure that I will certainly have more opportunities to get a
satisfactory job in future with the profound knowledge I learn in graduate school abroad
三十九180 1一件事情的发生，经过，结果。2你的想法。
Several days ago, I went to visit a friend of mine. When I got off the bus, I walked to look
for his home. But the address was not clear and I got lost.
I asked an old man the way. He told me in detail, but because of his accent. I didn’t
understand him and looked puzzled.
The old man offered to lead me there. It took us twenty minutes to find the right place.
When I thanked him, the old man smiled and said: ―It’s my pleasure. I can also take it as a walk.‖
If every person treated others like this, our world would be a more beautiful, more
wonderful one to live in. If anyone gives you a hand, you should express your sincere gratitude to
him or her. Only in this way will everyone be ready to help others and feel satisfied with it.

another three weeks. So I will be away from school for at least two weeks. I 'm going to take my

你当前英语学习中的主要问题？
提出见面的时间、地点、可能占用多少时间？
Dear Professor Wang,
How are you? I spend much time studying English but the results are not satisfactory. I try
hard to remember new words but I forget them very soon. When I come across some long
sentences, I just don’t know the structure and I get quite confused about the meaning of these
sentences. When should I do? Could you please spare me some time to give me some advice?
I don’t think I’ll take up much of your time. At most one hour, I think, would be enough. Can

I come to you office to visit you sometime this weekend? Or you can appoint the time and
place.
Your Sincerely
Li Ming
这本书的主要内容
你对这本书的看法150
I have read a book recently. It is a novel whose title is Woman on the Edge written by a
Chinese woman writer named ZHANG Kankang. The heroin of the story always has new, brave
ideas and once she has a new idea, some of which are interesting and exciting, but some are
dangerous ,she wants to put it into practice immediately. Her life is full of struggles. I think it is
good and necessary for us to have some news ideas in our life, but I also think the ideas should be
reasonable and practical. I think the book is worth reading.

I know that this book is not available in the bookstore. I'll take good care of the book and I
think I can finish my paper within three weeks. I'll return the book to you immediately after I have

小孩为什么应当做一些家务
你都能做些什么家务活150
Nowadays, we can see some boys and girls who live in a small world of their own. They bury
themselves among books and are proud of themselves. They think that it will make them lose their
face if they do housework for they often think themselves very young people are
wrong. In my opinion every student should have a knowledge of housework. After all, they will
have a family of their own, and they should do their part in keeping a good home. Boys should
also learn to do housework, for what will they do if they remain single? Though not all boys
remain single, yet they will be very helpful in the family if they know some housework. Anyhow
they will not lose anything, but, on the contrary, they will gain something useful,for me I can do a
lot of housework at home.

Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the
land .Geographers（地理学家）compare and contrast 21 places on the earth. But
they also 22 beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 23 .
The world geography 24 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for ―earth‖
and graphein, 25 means ―to write‖. The English word geography means, ―to
describe the earth‖. 26 Geography books focus on a small area 27 a town
or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 28
continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 29 to
divide the study of 30 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural
geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 31 starts with human
beings and 32 how human beings and their subject, 33 branch can neglect
the other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 34 branch can
neglect the other.

Part III. Reading Comprehension (40 points; 55 minutes)?
Section 1
Directions: Each of the following three passages is followed by some questions. For
each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each
question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One?
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Banks are ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors not
to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank
is not sound, that it cannot pay off its depositors, then that fear might cause all the
depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all the
accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be
funds to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught
has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of
1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks
anticipated a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught
worked as a teller had enough funds in hand to pay off as many depositors as might
apply. The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. Next morning a
crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line
convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to
push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. Clothing was torn and
limbs were broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic
atmosphere is evident in the fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was
sound and could pay out all depositors, nevertheless withdrew the funds in their own
accounts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restraining herself from doing the
same.
41. A bank run occurs when __________.
A. a bank is closed for one or more days
B. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one time
C. there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one time
D. employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank

42. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to __________.
A. explain why they could not pay out all deposits
B. pay out deposits as requested
C. assure customers that the bank was sound
D. pay out money as slowly as possible
43. The essential cause of a run on a bank is __________.
A. loss of confidence B. lack of sufficient funds
C. crowds of people D. inefficient tellers
44. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?
A. She knew that the bank was not sound.
B. She feared that too many withdrawals would close the bank.
C. She was not able to draw out her money.
D. She was tempted to draw out her money.
45. According to the passage, the actions of the customers of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were
influenced chiefly by the __________.
A. ease with which they could obtain their money
B. confidence demonstrated by other customers of the bank
C. confidence that Mrs. Vaught demonstrated
D. failure of several other banks to open

Passage Two?
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Gravity holds us so dose to the Earth's surface that nobody can jump more than a
few feet into the air without the force of gravity pulling him down. It takes a powerful
engine to keep an airplane up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards as hard as you
can, you will notice that it travels in a curved path before it comes back to the ground.
If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, instead of traveling in a curve, would move away
in a straight line; in fact, it would never come back to the ground. If the Earth were to
lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly off it as it spins round in space. The Earth has
a strong pull, but modem rockets going out into space are able to escape from the
gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball thrown into the air, the height
reached by the ball depends upon how hard it is thrown. The greater the starting-speed,
the higher the ball will go. If it could be thrown so that it traveled fast enough, the ball
would escape into space and never come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast at this,
but powerful rocket engines can send spaceships away from the Earth at such a speed
that the Earth's gravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send
rockets to the Moon.
46. Gravity holds us dose the Earth's surface, and as a result, __________.
A. we can lift ourselves no more than a few feet above the Earth
B. nobody can jump a few feet into the air
C. no one will be pulled down
D. any one of us can Jump as high as expected
47. What would happen to a ball thrown upwards if there were no gravity?
A. It would spin round in space.

B. It would fly off into space
C. It would fall into a curved path.
D. It would move towards the Earth.
48. The ball thrown into the air would never come back to the ground __________.
A. without such a powerful horizontal push
B. if it were thrown upwards as hard as you can
C. should it travel in a curved path
D. were it not for gravity
49. The height the ball will reach depends on __________.
A. the escape velocity B. the limiting velocity
C. its starting velocity D. its traveling speed
50. What is it that makes it possible to put a spaceship into orbit?
A. the Earth's gravity B. a strong pull
C. a powerful engine D. the powerful rocket engine

Passage Three?
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
Does a bee know what is going on its mind when it navigates its way to distant
food sources and back to the hive, using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it
carries as an aid? Or is the bee just a machine? (Unable to do its mathematics and
dance its language in any other way to use Donald Griffin’s term) Does a bee have
―awareness‖, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine?
There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl
Von Frisch and more recently confirmed by James Gould at Princeton, biologists who
wish to study such things as bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place.
To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the
bees can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever
is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive.
Eventually, the target is being moved 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the
hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the geologists shifting the dish of
sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them precisely where the next
position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.
51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Bee Hive: Nature’s Candy Shop
B. Testing the Awareness of Bees
C. Navigational Techniques of Birds and Insects
D. Behaviorists Versus Biologists: A Zoological Debate
52. In the second paragraph why is Karl Von Frisch mentioned?
A. To introduce his observation on bee behavior.
B. To contrast his theories with those of James Gould.
C. To give credit to his description of the bee hive.
D. To support the argument that bees use sunlight to navigate.
53. According to the author, why was sugar used in the study?
A. To keep the bees nourished and healthy during the experiment.

B. To train the bees to travel to a particular place.
C. To reward the bees for performing the experiment correctly.
D. To ensure that the bees did not sting the scientists.
54. The result of the experiment explained in the passage seems to indicate which of
the following?
A. Research using bees is too dangerous to be conducted successfully.
B. Bees are unable to navigate beyond 100 feet of their hive.
C. Scientists can teach bees to speak to people.
D. Bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks.
55. Which of the following best describes the format of the passage?
A. a response to criticism
B. a comparison of two competing theories
C. a question followed by a possible answer
D. a position supported by scientific debate

Passage Four?
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
Mrs. Green gave her husband her letters to post when he was going to work. But
sometimes Mr. Green forgot to do so and kept them in his pocket for days.
One fine morning in March, Mrs. Green asked him to post a letter. ―Please post
this letter and don’t forget,’ she said. Mr. Green put the letter in his pocket and said, ―I
am sure to post this one.‖ Mrs. Green smiled and said, ―Yes, I believe that you will
this time.‖ Mrs. Green looked at his back, and was still smiling when she closed the
door.
Mr. Green walked slowly along the street. Soon a man came up from behind him.
When he walked by, the man looked back and smiled, ―Don’t forget to post the
letter!‖
Then a girl walked by, and she turned and smiled, too. ―Don’t forget to post that
letter!‖ she said.
Mr. Green said to himself, ―Why are these people smiling at me? And how do they
know I have a letter to post?‖
At last he came to a post office, posted the letter, and walked on. But after a while,
a boy came up from behind him and asked him, ―Did you post your letter?‖
―Yes, I did,‖ said Mr. Green.
―Then I can take off this paper,‖ said the boy.
He took a large piece of paper from the back of Mr. Green’s coat and showed it to
him. On the paper were these words – ―Ask him to post the letter.‖

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Thank—you cards seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce
human contact．
Although our society has changed greatly over the past century，the etiquette (礼
节) of thank-you notes has not．
While most people would agree that thank-you notes are a necessity，there are still
those who forever delay or are forgetful for unknown reasons．
And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more obvious (or lacking) than
June．The month of brides and graduations，and the beginning of summer parties．
―It’s a must-do thing．A real thank-you does not come by e-mail．They come in
the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to
touch and to pass around for everyone to read，‖said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige．
Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you
notes-any
handwritten letters，for that matter-have taken on an air of extra importance and
dignity (尊严) in
this e-hyper (超电子) world．
Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (复兴)．
More than simply obeying rules of etiquette，thank-you cards are a sign of caring．
―They’re more important now than ever，‖expert Peter Post says．―You’re building
a relationship．And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge (表示谢
意) when someone has done something nice for you．’’
The payoff (回报)，Post says，can be huge．―It perpetuates (延续)，‖he says．―The
more we do it，the more it comes back to us，and it’s a benefit to us a11．It makes our
world a little bit nicer place to live in.‖
61. The writer thinks the Internet ________________________________________.
62. Baldrige argues that a thank-you note should be __________________________
63. A thank-you note should be handwritten because it takes on an air of _________
____________________
64. To build a relationship，you should give thanks to someone who
________________________
65. The passage is mainly about _______________________________________.
