This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities(34)which men give their leisure.There are no manmade rules, as there are for(35)games as golf and football.There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to(36), but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own(37).If we(38)mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is(39)mountaineering is not a “team work”.However, it is only our misunderstanding.There are, in fact, no“ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may(40), obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural(41)that are stronger and more powerful than man.His sport requires high mental and(42)qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve on skill year after year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions(43)in their early twenties.But it is not(44)for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more(45)than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills and le waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.31.A.for B.in C.to D.of 32.A.looked up to B.looked forward C.looked into D.looked upon 33.A.willing B.reluctant C.unwilling D.probable 34.A.to B.with C.for D.towards 35.A.so B.various C.different D.such 36.A.apply B.worry C.ignore D.notice 37.A.methods B.forms C.rules D.activities 38.A.correlate B.relate C.compare D.contrast 39.A.for B.what C.which D.that 40.A.exist B.go C.depend D.confide 41.A.strength B.storms C.powers D.forces 42.A.physician B.physical C.physiological D.psychological 43.A.will be B.appear C.are D.is 44.A.unusual B.normal C.common D.strange 45.A.strength B.efforts C.energy D.time Part Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension(2.5 points each, 50 points in all)Directions: There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill.You should read the paages below carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.46 to No.50).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, although prices are clearly shown on the goods.There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling;some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices immediately.We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley, but we also realize that to keep a store like Robinson’s is by no means cheap.Besides, in such places we shop in air-conditioner(空调)comfort.For all these, we pay a little extra.It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost le.I once bought a Czechoslovakian gla butterdish from Robinson’s for a little under two dollars.I then went on to Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in one of the shops.I then asked about its price, and was surprised when the man demanded more than four dollars for it.“How much can you offer?” he shouted at me.I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude.I opened my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop.A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly what the price is.He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted.If he thinks the price is beyond what he can afford, he shrugs(耸耸)his shoulders and walks away.He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper.Even if he showed annoyance or surprise, he would expect to be to that if the price was unacceptable, he should try elsewhere.46.The underlined word “haggling”(line 2, Para.1)in the text most probably means _____.A.accepting the prices immediately B.fixing the right cost for some goods C.arguing about the price of something D.paying extra for comfortable shopping 47.We can learn from the text that Robinson’s is a store which sells_____.A.expensive goods B.airconditioners C.Czechoslovakian goods D.goods at a bargain price 48.The writer asked about the price of a gla butterdish in Change Alley because he wanted to _____.A.buy it at a lower price B.change his dish for something else C.find out if the shop aistant is polite D.compare the prices of the dish in two stores 49.Which of the following words best describes the feeling of a British customer when“ he shrugs his shoulders and walks away”(line 3-4, Para.3)? A.Frightened.B.Worded.C.Annoyed.D.Disappointed.50.What would probably happen if a customer does bargain with a shopkeeper in England? A.The customer would be advised to shop in other stores.B.The customer would get the goods at a lower price.C.They would discu and then reach an agreement.D.They would quarrel about the price of the goods.Task 2 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.51 to No.55).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.The basic flag of the United States is one of the world’s oldest national flags.Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of poeion.Later, in the Colonial(殖民的)and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.The first official flag of the United States was created by Congre(国会)on June 14, 1777.It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776.Congre adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag.As a result, Congre in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star.In 1912 President William H.Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars.He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each.Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flagmaker’s desire.The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States.After the admiion of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national’s flag.Among them are the president’s and vice president’s flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies.Each state in the Union has an official flag.51.Why were only the flags of various European nations flown over the land, during the discovery and settlement period? A.Because the flags were older than the national flag of the U.S..B.Because the land was divided by these nations.C.Because there was no universal flag over the land.D.We don’t know from the paage.52.The first national flag of the United States _____.A.represented the 13 colonies which won independence in 1776 B.was flown in American colonies in 1776 C.was flown in American colonies in 1795 D.gave representation to Congre 53.By whom the stars were placed on the national flag in 1818 and 1912? A.Congre.B.The president.C.The government.D.The flagmaker.54.How many states entered the Union between 1818 and 1912? A.30.B.28.C.13.D.8.55.Which of the following is NOT true according to the paage? A.Before 1959 the flag had been changed 25 times.B.Each federal department has its own official flag.C.The national flag of the U.S.had 26 stars on it after admiion of Hawaii into the Union in 1959.D.In 1912, there had been 48 states in the Union.Task 3 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.56 to No.60).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies.This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color.If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously(无意识地).Manufacturers(生产商)have discovered by experience that sugar sells.Badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics(化妆品)should never be packaged in brown.These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration.Some of our preferences are clearly psychological.Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore aociated with calm, while yellow is a day color with aociations of energy and incentive(刺激).For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort.And green is aociated with paive defense and selfprotection.Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological aociations, also have a direct psychological effect.People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood preure;red is exciting.Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect;it is a calming color.(Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm.)So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.56.Our preferences for certain colors are _____ according to the paage.A.aociated with the time of the day B.dependent on our personalities C.are linked with our ancestors D.partly due to psychological factors 57.If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen? A.They breathe faster.B.They feel satisfied.C.Their blood preure rises.D.Their hearts beat faster.58.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the paage? A.Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.B.Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C.People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D.The psychology of color is of some practical use.59.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the paage? A.Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.B.Dark blue bring people the feeling of being energetic.C.Primitive people aociated heat and anger with red.D.Green and yellow are aociated with calm and paive defense.60.Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the paage? A.The Branch of Color Psychology B.Color and Its Meanings C.The Practical Use of Color Psychology D.Color and Feelings
Task 4 Directions: After reading it , you should answer each of the 5 questions(No.61 to No.65)within 3 words.The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Long ago men learned that the world of nature is built with mathematical exactne according to refined and powerful laws;every bee strokes its wings exactly 440 times a second to propel itself forty miles an hour;the eye of every fly has exactly 7,000 lenses;every spider’s thread is composed of 300 single threads.The progre of civilization itself can be measured by its range of mathematics.The early Egyptians knew enough of geometry to build the pyramids and the Greeks used trigonometry to measure the circumference of the earth two thousand years before Columbus sailed.European civilization combined geometry and trigonometry with the decimal system of the Arabs to produce the maps with which they explored the known world.In a later century, mathematicians studied the pendulum of the newly invented clock and created the language of calculus to measure motion.The yardstick of measurement today must cover everything from units tinier than atoms to distances of millions of light years.Speed and accuracy are vital.Man can never send a rocket to Mars unle he knows the exact distance to the planet, since the slightest error could mean miing it by 30,000 miles.In navigating amid the planets and stars, man must have the help of some kind of machine calculators for fast and absolutely accurate information.Questions: 61.What is the basis of the world of nature according to the paage? _______________ 62.What is the main topic of the paage? _______________ 63.This selection discues mathematics chiefly as a means of __________ rather than a means of expreing ideas.64.What was Calculus created for according to the paage? _______________ 65.According to the paage, what did the Europeans make use of as far as mathematics is concerned? _______________ Part Ⅳ.Translation(35 points)Section A Directions： Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4 points each for No.66 through No.68;6 points for No.69;18 points in all.)66.Nobody has taught him how to act well on the stage.67.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made.68.It was not until I saw him that I felt happy.69.The report compares the different types of home computers available in market.Section B Directions： Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4 points each for No.70 through No.72;5 points for No.73;17 points in all.)70.无论教授多忙，他都经常抽时间做关于大众科学的讲座。71.这正是我所要表达的意思：不要在朋友需要你的时候离开他。72.他尽可能忍受着这种疼痛。

Traditional aumptions should be investigated carefully, and factors of time and place should be considered.The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America.Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional aumptions about saying and spending patterns.The condition most conductive to spending appears to be price stability.If prices here have been stable and people have become accustomed, to consider them “right” and expect them to remain stable, they are likely to buy.Thus, it appears that the common busine policy of maintaining stable prices with occasional sales or discounts is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.46.The example of the mechanic’s wife is intend to show that in times of rising prices, _____.A.people with declining income tend to buy le B.people with stable income tend to borrow le C.people with increasing income tend to buy more D.people with money also tend to buy le 47.Finding in investigations in Britain indicate _____.A.certain factors should be taken into account B.people in Britain behave in the same way as those in America C.price stability results from a correct understanding of consumer psychology D.occasional discounts and sales are neceary 48.According to the paage people tend to buy more when _____.A.prices are expected to go up B.prices are expected to go down C.prices don’t change
D.busine policy remains unchanged 49.The best title of the paage is _____.A.Consumer’s Purchasing Power

A.The aumptions are not always true.B.They are in reliable.C.They are in consistent with the findings in investigation.D.The aumptions are not at all wrong.Task 2 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.51 to No.55).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.There is evidence that the usual variety of high blood preure is, in part, a family disease.Since families have similar genes as well as similar environment, family diseases could be due to shared genetic influences, to shared environmental factors, or to both.For some years, the role of one’s environmental factor commonly shared by families, namely, dietary salt, has been studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory.These studies suggest that chronic exce salt ingestion can lead to high blood preure in man and animals.Some individuals, however, and some rats consume large amounts of salt without developing high blood preure.No matter how strictly all environmental factors were controlled in these experiments, some saltfed animals never develop hypertension where—as a few rapidly developed very severe hypertension followed by early death.These marked variations were interpreted to result from differences in genetic constitution.By mating in succeive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion, a resistant strain(the“R” strain)has been evolved in which consumption of large quantities of salt fails to influence the blood preure significantly.In contrast, by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt, a sensitive strain(the“S” strain)has also been developed.The availability of these two strains permits investigations not heretofore poible.They provide a plausible laboratory model on which to investigate some clinical aspects of the human prototypes of hypertension.More important, there might be the poibility of developing methods by which genetic susceptibility of human beings to high blood preure can be defined without waiting for its appearance.51.Which statement relates the main idea of this paage? A.When salt is added to their diets, rats and men react in much the same way.B.The near future will see a cure for high blood preure.C.Modern research has shown that high blood preure is a result of salt in the diet.D.A tendency toward high blood preure may be a hereditary factor.52.The study of the effects of salt on high blood preure was carried out_____.A.because members of the same family tend to use similar amounts of salt B.to explore the longterm use of a sodiumbased substance C.because it was proved that salt caused high blood preure D.because of the availability of chemically pure salt and its derivatives 53.It is implied that the main difference between “S” and “R” rats is their_____.A.need for Sodium B.rate of mating C.reaction to salt D.type of blood 54.In the experiments, _____.A.there was an increase in the human consumption of salt B.salteaters have bad health conditions C.the environment was strictly monitored D.highblood preure was easier put under control 55.Among the results of the research discued in this article, the most beneficial might be_____.A.the early identification of potential high blood preure victims B.development of diets free of salt C.an early cure for high blood preure D.control of genetic agents that cause high blood preure
Task 3 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.56 to No.60).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas, which brought about a world revolution.If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher.If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all poible.What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas, which have surprising effects, his was a simple one.He watched workers practising their craft of pin making.One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cat off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it.Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers.Let one be responsible for preparing the metal.Another for stretching and cutting.Another for shaping.Another for finishing.He described the technique as the Division of Labour;in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again.Smith convinced the world that specialization could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution.Productivity was greatly increased.For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century.British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web acro the world.British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one comer of the world to another.The revolution is not over.It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon.Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production.What were called maproduction lines yesterday are called robotic productions today.The pace of change is increasing.And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.56.We should be grateful to Adam Smith because _____.A.his ideas made it poible for people to improve their lives B.he invented a more efficient way of pin making C.he started the industrial revolution D.he brought to people a high standard of living 57.Which of the following is true according to the paage? A.The Division of Labour makes work more interesting.B.Specialization could solve the problem of unemployment.C.Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labour.D.Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid.58.From the paage we know that the Industrial Revolution _____.A.led to Adam Smith’ s idea of specialization B.was finished in the nineteenth century C.also has its sideeffects in society D.put an end to poverty in the world 59.According to the paage, the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results except _____.A.prosperity B.crime C.unemployment D.over crowdedne 60.What is the best title for this paage? A.The Theory of Division of Labour and Its Significance B.The Industrial Revolution and Its Significance C.The Causes of Industrial Revolution D.Adam Smith, the Economist and Philosopher
Task 4 Directions: After reading it , you should answer each of the 5 questions(No.61 to No.65)within 3 words.The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is fortyfive and can be expected to live another thirtyfive years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.This important change in women’s lifepattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a fulltime job.However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the schoolleaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards return to full or parttime work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.Questions: 61.What is the paage mainly about? _______________ 62.According to the author, what makes women’s housework easier to do? _______________ 63.A woman in the nineteenth century would probably spend most of their time in _____.64.Where does a married woman in the twentieth century eentially differ from a woman in the nineteenth century as far as their lifepattern is concerned? _______________ 65.What does the change of women’s economic position finally result in? _______________ Part Ⅳ.Translation(35 points)Section A Directions： Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4 points each for No.66 through No.68;6 points for No.69;18 points in all.)66.As people’s demands for more convenience telephone communications increased, came the mobile phone.67.Not until the problem of talents and funds is solved, is our talking about the project meaningful.68.Scientists are eager to talk with other scientists working on similar problems.69.Women are going after equality themselves instead of waiting for organizations to deliver it．

meet, we pa on something of ourselves.After(31)to Mark Twain, Helen—who was both deaf and blind—commented, “I can feel the twinkle of his eye(32)his handshake.” In some indefinable way, Twain had(33)his charm to Keller.And that’s probably been true of the handshake all the way back to its earliest days,(34)no one can tell its actual(35).A common explanation is that(36)early man encountered

Well, this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books.You should soon notice your accustomed w.p.m.rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w.p.m.rate if you do not understand what you are reading.When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter(if you are reading a novel)or every section or group of ten or twelve pages(if it is a textbook)and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading.If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time.Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you poibly can.Do not bother about whether you understand or not.Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your “normal” w.p.m.rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand.After a “lightning speed” reading through(probably 600 w.p.m.), you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased—perhaps by as much as 50100 w.p.m.This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.46.According to the paage, a “pacing” device_____.A.is used to time a student’s reading speed B.is not used in most speed reading courses C.is used as an aid to vocabulary learning D.should be used whenever we read alone 47.In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_____.A.avoids the need for reading faster B.is not the same as pacing C.may seem unworkable at first D.helps you to remember your page number 48.When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_____.A.every chapter B.every section C.every four or five pages D.every ten or twelve pages 49.The purpose of the “lightning speed” exercise is to_____.A.increase your speed by scanning the text first B.test your maximum reading speed C.help you understand more of the content of the book D.enable you to win reading races against your friends 50.The best title for this paage would be_____.A.Hints for Succeful Reading B.Hints for Speed Reading C.Effective Reading D.Lightning Speed Exercises
Task 2 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.51 to No.55).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.At the European Commiion in Bruels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do “Languages”, they say, “have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them.” Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind.Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability.To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters’ aociations.To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organization’s own school, or on a postgraduate course at university.But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job.At London’s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter’s course if they can show that they have “lived a bit” in the words of one lecture.Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken.They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs.This broad range of interests are eential in a job which can require interpreting discuions of disarmament(裁军)on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday.Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(肾上腺素)—which is caused by the stre and challenges of the job to keep them going through their demanding schedules.Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it’s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.It’s also a job with its own risks and excitement.Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the U.N..51.According to the paage, what does the underlined phrase “lived a bit ”mean?
A.To be older than others.B.To travel to more countries.C.To have abundant life experience.D.To have longer training in interpreting.52.Candidates for the training course in London’s University of Westminster need the following qualifications EXCEPT _____.A.having wide cultural interests B.having a good knowledge of current affairs C.being familiar with the languages they translate D.being eloquent lecturers 53.The interpreters rely on adrenaline because _____.A.it can help finish their work quickly B.it can make them excited C.it can prevent them from heart disease D.it can make them work harder 54.According to the paage, we can infer that _____.A.language has nothing to do with interpreting B.only those postgraduates from the foreign language universities can work as interpreters C.interpreters must live in the country where the required language is spoken D.interpreters build the bridge for international communication 55.The job as interpreter has the following characteristics EXCEPT _____.A.funny B.intrepid C.dangerous sometimes D.exciting
Task 3 Directions: After reading the following paage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements(No.56 to No.60).For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated to have been about five million.Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language, as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.It is virtually impoible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages.The purposes for which English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to define and still more difficult to ae what constitutes an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world language.Besides serving the infinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the most important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced and not always by native speakers.It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the diemination of information over the radio and television networks of many nations.It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies.Many of these countries have multilingual populations and, need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for acce to the scientific and technological developments in the West.56.What would be an appropriate title for this selection? A.The Difficulties of Learning English B.Internal Communications C.The Standard Varieties of English D.English as a World Language 57.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B.There are some 260 million nativespeakers of English in the world.C.It is almost impoible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D.People learn English for a variety of reasons.58.According to this article, what is one main reason for the widespread use of English? A.It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B.It is used in former British colonies.C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.D.It is a world language that is used for international communication.59.What constitutes an adequate working knowledge of English? A.The ability to read a newspaper.B.It is difficult to ae because it differs for each situation.C.Being multilingual.D.Being a native speaker.60.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English? A.Those geographically close to the United States.B.Those interested in the culture of the United States.C.Former colonies of Great Britain.D.Countries where international conferences are held.Task 4 Directions: After reading it , you should answer each of the 5 questions(No.61 to No.65)within 3 words.The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Many people in the United States are concerned about the foods they eat every day.They now know that what they eat affects their health, but they also wonder about some studies that show that people in France have 40% le heart disease than Americans.A recent study, however, shows that the food French people eat now does not help them live longer.Researchers say the reason for their longer life is because of the food they ate in the past.Books and movies about the French people show them eating fatty foods and drinking a lot of wine, but in years past the French rarely ate red meat.Even when they have money to buy meat they used only a small amount to add the taste to soups and other food.Today however the French eat much of the same foods Americans eat.A doctor of New York University says the French continue to live longer because of what they have not been eating.She says their high fat foods are too new to have an effect on their death rate.In 1961 21% of the calories in the food French people ate came from fats.In 1988 39% of the calories came from fats.Americans however were getting 39% of their calories from fats in 1923.So for many years Americans have eaten higher amounts of fats which are known to cause heart disease.In the past some French experts claimed their good health and long life were caused by the red wine they drank.They said the wine helped them to have the second lowest rate of heart disease among people in industrial countries.Doctors say a small amount of alcohol each day can help protect against heart disease, but they do not propose that people begin drinking alcohol for this reason.Question: 61.What is the topic of the paage? _______________ 62.From the paage we know that the Americans have ________ more heart disease than the French.63.What is the known cause of heart disease according to the paage? _______________ 64.Some French experts tended to believe that their good health and long life were due to _______________.65.In the past the French people bought meat mainly for the purpose of ________.Part Ⅳ.Translation(35 points)Section A Directions： Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4 points each for No.66 through No.68;6 points for No.69;18 points in all.)66.The rocket has enabled man to achieve the ageold dream of travel to the moon.67.Where there is no product yet meeting a need, the opportunities are unlimited.68.By no means all of the known mineral reserves of the Third World have been exploited.69.China is one of the earliest cradles of civilization and the visit to this ancient civilization has long been my dream.Section B Directions： Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4 points each for No.70 through No.72;5 points for No.73;17 points in all.)70.全世界大约有三分之一的科学论文是美国人写的。71.当孩子经常逃学、撒谎时，父母常常十分恼火。72.爱丽斯无礼地把我轰出了门。
