Paage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following paage.Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five.On being asked his opinion, he said, ”Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral.If I were to make a choice between them, I would rather choose the latter Anyway, it's better to live than not to live at all.“ A lively discuion followed.A banker, who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer, suddenly lost his temper and cried out, ”It's a lie.I bet you two million.You wouldn't stick in a cell even for five years.“ ”If you mean it,“ replied the young lawyer, ”I bet I'll stay there longer;make it fifteen instead of five.“ ”Fifteen!Done!“ cried the banker.”Gentleman, I bet you two millions.“ ”Agreed.Two millions for my freedom,“ said the lawyer.So this wild, ridiculous bet came to pa.The banker could not hide his excitement During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly, ”Come to your senses, young man, before it's too late.Two millions are nothing to me, but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life.I say three or four because you'll never stick it out any longer Don't forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than a enforced one.The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell.I pity you.“ And now the banker, pacing from comer to comer, recalled all this and asked himself, ”Why did I make this bet? What's the good? The lawyer lost fifteen years of hi life and I threw away two millions.Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life? No, no!Rubbish!On my part, it was the caprice（心血来潮）of a well-fed millionaire;on the lawyer's part, it's the pure greed c gold.“ 21．The lawyer would choose life imprisonment because.A.he was younger than the banker B.capital punishment was immoral C.it was better than capital punishment D.the banker would give him $200,000 22.The author considers the bet between the lawyer and the banker.A.interestingB.ridiculous C.capriciousD.instructive 23.The word 'company' in the first paragraph refers to __.A.companionsB.bankers C.lawyersD.prisoners 24.The banker was extremely excited because __.A.he was too rich to care for the money B.he was sure of his winning the bet C.the lawyer would give up in 15 years D.the lawyer would give up before 5 years 25.In the end, the banker considers his bet with the lawyer __.A.rationalB.reasonableC.beneficialD.unreasonable Paage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following paage.Online learning is also called distance education, which helps students who take claes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree.2005年10月英语

（二）

And it has become more and more popular with both young people and educational institutions.The School of Continuing and Profeional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online claes in 1992.Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from acro the United States and other countries.Last year，the school launched NYU Online.It offers NYU's first online Programs for a bachelor's degree.Programs are offered in three areas;leadership And management, information systems management and social sciences.The claes are highly interactive where students communicate with each other and their teachers.Some claes require students to log in at the same time so they can attend live lectures by a profeor Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many claes a student is to take It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year.NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program.If you are interested in the program, you can gel more details at the website: www.daodoc.common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction.This is not true.The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature.Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.For example, tropical forests are known to be eential to the balance of nature, yet we are destroying them at a great rate.They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country, but to satisfy the needs of rich countries.Central American forests are being destroyed for graland to make pet food in the United States cheaper;in Papua slew Guinea, forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products;in Burma and Thailand, forests have been destroyed to produce more attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong.Therefore, a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself.In short, it is everybody's duty to safeguard the future of mankind—not only through population control, but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature.Nature is both fragile and powerful.It is very easily destroyed;on the other hand, it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy—man.31.According to the first paragraph, people usually believe that.A.poor people in poor countries contribute to the imbalance of nature B.rich people know how to protect the environment by taking actions C.people in poor areas know a lot about the birth control D.rich people in rich countries have done a lot to balance nature 32.In the author's opinion, __.A.developing countries should be responsible for environmental problems B.overpopulation in the world is created by the developed countries C.rich countries exercise worse influence on environment than poor countries D.all countries should bring the population growth under control 33.The purpose of the second paragraph is mainly to illustrate __.A.how the forests in the U.S.are being destroyed B.which countries are the victims of the imbalance of nature C.what Japan has done to develop its own economy D.how South Asian countries make quality furniture 34.Nature is very easily destroyed by __.A.rich peopleB.poor people C.natural disastersD.mankind 35.The topic of the paage is that __.A.the control of population is eential to the development of a nation B.natural resources are important to the economic development of a country C.awarene of the effects of man's actions is as important as population control D.developed countries should do more to protect natural environment on the earth IV.Word Spelling(10 points, 1 point for two items)将下列汉语单词译成英语。每个单词的词类、首字母及字母数目均已给出。请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。

Paage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following paage.How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again.Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in usele regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities.If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved.It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest

for older people because they are too well known.A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow.His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure．But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are;he is continually being told what to do and what not to do．Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents;but at the same time he is forced to accept．responsibilities.With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble.If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progre in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be;but it is not neceary for the old to be unhappy.With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given.The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progre in life;they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them;and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happine of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.21．The happiest people should be those who A．face up to difficulties in lifeB．hope to be young again C．enjoy life in different agesD．wish to be grown up 22．The word “they” in Line 5，Para.2 refers to＿． A．older peopleB．new thingsC．childrenD．interests 23 ．A child has his pains because＿． A．he can not do whatever he wants to B．he is not allowed to play in rain C．he has a lot of new things to learn D.he can not play at the seaside freely

Some people are trying to do their bit to be more environmentally friendly.Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living, such as recycling paper, tin, plastic and gla.They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites（填埋场），because they are running out of places to dump（倾倒）rubbish.In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep, but in other areas, you have to take it to a special recycling place, such as a bottle bank.Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable ones For example, some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags, or use washable nappies instead of disposables.More people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint—the amount of carbon they use up.They try to reduce their carbon emiions（释放）by cycling, using public transport or an electric car, rather than driving gas-consuming vehicles.Some people choose not to fly for holiday trips because planes are the biggest producers of carbon emiions.You can make‘green’ choices when buying food too.It's best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasn't been imported by air, or shipped by road from far away.Houses can be environmentally friendly too.It takes le energy to heat a house if it has good insulation（绝缘，隔热）and double glazing(双层玻璃）．You can also create your own energy it you have solar panels or a wind turbine fitted though these

can be expensive.You can also save water by using a rain water container for washing the car or watering the garden.It's even poible to use a system where‘grey water’—water which has been through a tap（水龙头）once already, is used to flush（冲洗）toilets.Some new housing projects are being built specifically to be as environmentally friendly as poible.26．The purpose of collecting reusable wastes is to＿． A．save energy consumed in daily life B．reduce the amount of rubbish dumped C．create a new way of green living D．decrease the amount of carbon produced 27．In order to cut down on the carbon emiion, more people choose to travel＿． A．by electric car, bicycle or plane B．by private car, bicycle or bus C．by bus, electric car or plane D．by bicycle, bus or electric car 28．It is best for people to buy food＿when making‘green’ choices.A．produced locally B．imported abroad C．transported by road D．grown in green houses 29．As mentioned,‘grey water’ can be used to＿，A．wash the car B．water the garden C．clean the toilet D．dispose of wastes 30．The paage is intended to advise people＿． A．to make use of rubbish B．to save energy and water C．to recycle reusable products D．to have a green living Paage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following paage.Americans are a very energetic and mobile people, always on the run;rushing from one appointment to another, from a PTA(Parent Teacher Aociation)meeting to a social planning committee.They have very little time to spend preparing elaborate（精致的，复杂的）everyday meals to be eaten at leisure.In many homes it is rare for the whole family to sit down at supper together.Clubs and committees force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down supper.When they do have the chance to

2005年10月英语

（二）

eat at home, often the working housewife prefers to prepare meals that can be quickly heated and consumed.It is no wonder, therefore, that America has become a shelter for fast food consumption.This great transformation occurred after World War Ⅱ when many women began to work full time and spend le time at home with their families.Women, however, wanted to function well in the capacity of homemaker, as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity（商品）which had to be carefully used.Therefore, it was neceary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner.Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home entertainment from the radio to the television.Television became the latest fashion in the 1950s and no one wanted to mi his or her favorite programs.And then, the place for supper shifted from the dining room to the living room.As the customs changed, so did the culture.The immediate solution for this was the invention of the TV dinner.These were frozen meals which were divided into portions of meat and vegetables.They could easily be put into an oven（锅）and prepared within minutes.The tin trays（托盘）in which they were served were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner was consumed in front of a TV set.Cleaning up afterwards was no problem.The tin trays were easily thrown into the garbage.From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road.Love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile.It is not odd that with the development of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains.McDonald's paved the way with its variety of burgers and cold drinks soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods.Today dozens of fast-food chain stores can be found along highways, in modern shopping malls and scattered throughout neighborhoods in America.Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Roy Roger's, Burger King and Wendy's are just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture． They offer chicken, donuts, tacos and pizza, all quickly produced in great quantities for the maes.These establishments have given shape to the modern lifestyles and diet of the American people.31．In America, the whole family seldom have dinner together at home because＿．

第三种人有一些书或很多--每一本都卷着皮，由于不断的使用而散架了，一页一页的，从头到尾都作满了标记，这种人才是真正拥有书籍。

三、Reading Comprehension（30 points，2 points for each item）

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。

1.Many people think New York is a noisy city.In fact,scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels.This is a little louder than normal conversation,which is 65 decibels.The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy.When you get into a taxi,you hear the voice of a wellknown singer,sports reporter,or Broadway actre giving instructions.That’t right.The voice of a famous person tells you what to do.One popular singer gives this meage:“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one,so fasten your seat belt!”Other voices say things such as“Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.”（People often leave hats,umbrellas,and bags in taxis.）

There is a good reason for the meages.There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York,and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents.In an accident,people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition,the gla wall separating the driver and paengers in the taxi.They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins.Every year,about 11,000 people are injured in this way.Many people are annoyed by the voices.Cabdrivers in particular dislike the meages.“I play the meages 12 hours a day.I hear the same voices 60 times a day.It makes me crazy,”says Amir,a 45yearold cabdriver.“But if I don’t play the meages,I get fined ＄100.”A lot of paengers complain,too.26

2005年10月英语

（二）

“It’s too much noise,”says a paenger.“I asked the driver to turn off the meage,but he said he can’t.”Other people think the voices are a great idea.One taxi driver says,“People like to hear the famous voices,and they put on their seat belts more often.”And paengers from out of town really like the idea.“Most of the time,taxi drivers are in a bad mood,”says Melanie Benton,who visits New York often on busine,“It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”

(1).The sentence“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one”implies that______.(A).human beings have only one life(B).cats live longer than human beings(C).cats will have new lives after they die(D).human beings should value their lives

(2).People who are most likely to be injured in a taxi accident are______.(A).those who wear seat belts(B).those who like meages(C).those who do not wear seat belts(D).those who dislike meages

(3).It can be inferred from the paage that a taxi driver hears the same voices______every day.(A).about 5 times an hour(B).about 6 times an hour(C).about 50 times an hour(D).about 60 times an hour

(4).The cabdrivers play the meages again and again because______.(A).they are willing to do so(B).they do not want to pay a fine(C).the paengers ask them to do so(D).the voice of the meages is cheerful(5).The author of this paage seems to believe that______.(A).New York is the noisiest city in the U.S.(B).meages played by taxi drivers are usele(C).meages in taxis should be voiced by famous people(D).voices from taxis partly caused the high noise level of New York 2.Some people might think that Father’s Day was established as a holiday to help greeting card companies sell more cards.However,when Father’s Day was first suggested in the early 1900s,Father’s Day cards hadn’t been invented yet.The idea of celebrating Father’s Day was actually inspired by Mother’s Day.In 1909,Mother’s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States.One day,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington,was listening to a church talk about setting aside a day to honor one’s mother.It gave her the idea to propose a day to honor fathers,and in particular,her own father—William Jackson Smart.Mr.Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself after Sonora’s mother died in childbirth.As an adult,Sonora realized the selflene her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.27

2005年10月英语

（二）

Her father made all the parental sacrifices.In the daughter’s eyes,her father was a courageous,selfle,and loving man.Mrs.Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted to fathers on June 5,her father’s birthday.That date was too soon for her minister to prepare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19.It took about a year of working with politicians,religious leaders,businemen and the local Young Men’s

Christian Aociation to bring life to her idea of an annual Father’s Day.Eventually all her hard work paid off.On June 19,1910,the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane,Washington.In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national celebration of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday in June.Since then,fathers have been honored and recognized by their families throughout the U.S.on that date.Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father,but all men who act as a father figure.Stepfathers,uncles,grandfathers,and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day.It’s also another day for greeting card companies and shop owners to celebrate because sales of the most popular gifts for Dad（shirts,ties,and electric shavers）increase considerably.(1).The paage mainly tells about______.(A).Mrs.Dodd’s love for her father

(B).the origin and establishment of Father’s Day

(C).the importance of honoring fathers in the U.S.(D).Mrs.Dodd’s contribution to the government decision(2).Mrs.Dodd loved her father because he______.(A).had a large family(B).was a single parent(C).was a respected minister(D).was courageous,selfle and loving(3).In the United States,the first Father’s Day was celebrated nationwide in______.(A).1972(B).1910(C).1909(D).1900

(4).The author of the paage seems to believe that______.(A).stepfathers should not be honored on Father’s Day(B).Father’s Day has nothing to do with Mother’s Day

(C).Father’s Day started with Mrs.Dodd’s love for her father(D).card companies should not make money on Father’s Day cards(5).Greeting card companies welcome Father’s Day because______.(A).their sale increases(B).it is a national holiday(C).adult male friends are also honored(D).they can sell ties,shirts and electric shavers

3.This green and blue planet spinning in space is under severe stre.If we continue to exploit the planet at the present rate,human and animal life will be threatened.Human pride will be followed by nature’s punishment.To save our earth and ourselves,we need first develop an unbiased understanding of

2005年10月英语

（二）

ourselves,nature and life.Everyone understands the meaning of the sentence“Man should respect animal life and nature”.But the exact meaning of man,nature and animal life is not always clear.Many refer to man and animals as if they were eentially different.I consider man to be an animal and only differing in degree and not in kind from other animals.Although I discu in conventional terms human rights and animal rights as if they were separate,strictly speaking,human rights should be considered a branch of animal rights.The word“nature”is one of the most complex words in the language,but it has developed three main areas of meaning.These are,first,the eential quality and character of something（as in human nature,or the nature of wood）;second,the inherent force which influences the world（as in Mother Nature）;third,the entire world itself.The last can be taken to include or to exclude human beings,as the phrase man and the natural world implies.I consider humans to be an integral part of nature, although they are also the beings most capable of interfering with its procees.Unfortunately a central drive of Western“man”has been to conquer“nature”, as if it were an object separate from him.Hence it has become common to distinguish between what is natural（existing without man’s interference）and artificial（manmade）.In this way, natural growth is opposed to education, civilization to the natural state.For many urban people living permanently among concrete and gla, nature itself has come to mean little more than the countryside.And this notion of opposition is where the seed of potential destruction lies.(1).The word“unbiased”in Line 4 of Para.1 means ______.(A).unbalanced(B).fair(C).partial(D).unreasonable(2).As for the relationship between man and animals, the author holds that ______.(A).man is a kind of animals(B).man is superior to animals(C).man is the same as animals(D).man and animals are eentially different from each other(3).The word“they”in Line 6 of Para.2 refers to ______.(A).human rights(B).animal rights(C).human beings and animals(D).human rights and animal rights

(4).In the author’s opinion, the word“nature”indicates ______.(A).a particular kind of thing(B).the inherent force which influences the world(C).the entire world itself including human beings(D).the eential quality and character of something

(5).The very last sentence of the paage implies that ______.(A).urbanization violates the peace of the countryside(B).the people in the cities cannot enjoy the nature’s beauty

(C).man cannot destroy nature, as they are different from each other

2005年10月英语

(D).if man goes against nature, the world will probably be destroyed

1.Parents can have a great impact on the development of their childrens creativity in art.But first, they have to know how.They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books.Coloring books stop the poibility of selfexpreion.A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to expre himself.As an art teacher says, “Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly.Such practice makes them learn language easily.” In fact, a child exprees himself in rough drawing.This is the beginning of literacy and creativity.Also, parents should not teach their kids“how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves.Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children, making them think they cant do it the “right”way.Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the proce of artistic creation.A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.Parents should be role models for their kids.They should not say things like,“I cant draw a straight line.”Instead, they should learn to say,“I love to create.”This teaches children that the proce of creation is more important than the product.If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively, they will do the same.Buy a notebook for your child to use every day.This can be a journal for making up stories, writing ideas and drawing pictures.Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly, expreing himself.Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity.Art museums, science centers, libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other

peoples creativity.That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.Give children choices and free time.Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.In short, parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves.That means not always teaching and commanding.(1).To develop their artistic creativity, children should be encouraged to______.(A).(B).(C).(D).draw freely and roughly learn to draw realistic pictures know how to draw before they start learn to draw good pictures to get prizes 答案：A(2).Parents are encouraged to be role models for their kids because.(A).(B).(C).(D).parents love to create parents can draw straight lines children tend to follow their parents examples children like the product of their parents creativity 答案：C(3).It can be inferred from the paage that in artistic creation.(A).product is more important than proce(B).proce is more important than product(C).proce and product are equally important(D).both proce and product are unimportant 答案：B(4).To be inspired by other peoples creativity,children should.(A).write ideas(B).make up stories(C).buy good notebooks(D).visit museums, libraries, and science centers 答案：D(5).The main idea of this paage is that.(A).children should be encouraged to draw freely(B).children should follow their parents examples(C).parents should know how to cultivate their kids creativity(D).most parents teach their kids confidently and instructively 答案：C 2.It is often said that politene costs nothing.In fact, it seems that a little more politene could save businees ￡5 billion every year.Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you” or “well done” means the same to

2005年10月英语

（二）

staff as a modest pay rise.Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs.In this way the busine companies can save the cost of finding new employees.A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well—and a further third said they were not thanked enough.In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were le likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.The result of the survey shows that there would be around ￡52 billion lo in productivity if the employees felt le appreciated.According to the firm, praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise—and works out much cheaper for boes.Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their boes was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.The survey found that those in bluecollar and manual jobs were le likely to be given any recognition for doing well.But it seems that they most need such praise.In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued.Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise.However, workers in the NorthEast are le impreed by being praised by the bo, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.Older employees and women need the most reaurance, according to psychologist Averil Leimon.She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work—they could even promote profits.(1).The survey indicates that politene could save businees a huge amount of money every year because.(A).(B).(C).(D).politene makes employees expect pay rise politene is le likely to make staff work harder politene helps employers find proper employees politene helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment 答案：D(2).Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their boes will probably.(A).leave for jobs elsewhere(B).work harder to get praise from their boes(C).exert themselves in their work to get pay rise(D).work harder to get encouragement from their boes 答案：A(3).According to the survey, of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.36
