Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four ch
19、oices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage OneIm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50
20、 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17
21、 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolationbrought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other thingsand a growin
22、g perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we cant turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties he
23、lps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of vi
24、rtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. Its not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine.
25、 It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesnt have to ruin your life.36.The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about peoples state of mind are _.A) surprising B) confusing C) illogical D) questio
26、nable（D）37.What does the author mean when he says, “we cant turn the clock back” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A) Its impossible to slow down the pace of change.B) The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C) Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D) Its impossible to forget the pa

29、an be coped with.B) Childrens anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C) Childrens anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D) Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.（C）Passage TwoIt is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the
30、 organizational constraints (约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you dont at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. C
31、onsider Beths story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔间) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also
32、 went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equ
33、al to our merit, but “nice” isnt a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, youll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Tim
34、ing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are wort
35、h on the open market.What will someone else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.41.According to the passage, before taking a job, a person sh
36、ould _.A) demonstrate his capability B) give his boss a good impressionC) ask for as much money as he can D) ask for the salary he hopes to get（D）42.What can be inferred from Beths story?A) Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.B) If people want what they deserve, they have to a
37、sk for it.C) People should not be content with what they have got.D) People should be careful when negotiating for a job.（B）43.We can learn from the passage that _.A) unfairness exists in salary increases B) most people are overworked and underpaidC) one should avoid overstating ones performanceD) m
38、ost organizations give their staff automatic pay raises（A）44.To get a pay raise, a person should _.A) advertise himself on the job marketB) persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC) try to get inside information about the organizationD) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay d
39、ecisions（D）45.To be successful in negotiations, one must _.A) meet his boss at the appropriate timeB) arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC) be good at influencing the outcome of the interactionD) be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes（C）Passage ThreeWhen families gather for Christm
40、as dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandmas generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶)-and-stainless informality, wi
41、th dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobsone
42、-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their r
43、oots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of t
44、elevision;Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that its better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. T
45、oo often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and gran
46、dparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the table.”) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.46.The trend toward casual dining has resulted in _.A) bankruptcy of fine china
47、 manufacturersB) shrinking of the pottery industryC) restructuring of large enterprisesD) economic recession in Great Britain（B）47.Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?A) Family members need more time to relax.B) Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C) People
48、want to practice economy in times of scarcity.D) Young people wont follow the etiquette of the older generation.（B）48.It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is _.A) a retailer of stainless steel tablewareB) a dealer in stonewareC) a pottery chain storeD) a producer of fine china（D）49.
49、The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is _.A) the increased value of the poundB) the economic recession in AsiaC) the change in peoples way of lifeD) the fierce competition at home and abroad（C）50.Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life _.A) are
50、still a must on certain occasionsB) axe bound to return sooner or laterC) are still being taught by parents at homeD) can help improve personal relationships（A）Passage FourSome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellen
51、ce from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivans Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane (飓风) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 p
52、eople and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolinas shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasnt strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugos wake, all ne
53、w shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivans Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivans Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its
54、redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern (灯笼)” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The houses wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the gro
55、und on timber pilingslong, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it.
56、“These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the houses ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesnt look like its standing w
57、ith its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.51.After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolinas shore line are required _.A) to be easily reinfor
58、cedB) to look smarter in designC) to meet stricter building standardsD) to be designed in the shape of cubes（C）52.The award-winning beach house is quite strong because _.A) it is strengthened by steel rodsB) it is made of redwoodC) it is in the shape of a shellD) it is built with timber and concrete
59、（A）53.Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to _.A) withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hrB) anchor stronger pilings deep in the sandC) break huge sea waves into smaller onesD) prevent water from rushing into the house（D）54.The main function of the shell is _.A)
60、 to strengthen the pilings of the houseB) to give the house a better appearanceC) to protect the wooden frame of the houseD) to slow down the speed of the swelling water（B）55.It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _.A) fancy-lookingB) waterproofC) easily breakableD) extremely s
61、trong（C）Passage FiveBotany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age anc
62、estors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always
63、been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them
64、botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously
65、 on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next se
66、ason, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than get a little
67、here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.56.Which of the following assumptions about early humans is expressed in the passage? A. They probably ha
68、d extensive knowledge of plants. B. They thought there was no need to cultivate crops. C. They did not enjoy the study of botany. D. They placed great importance on the ownership of property.57.What does the comment “this is logical” in line 5 mean? A. There is no clear way to determine the extent o
69、f our ancestors knowledge of plants. B. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.C. It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in pre-industrial societies. D. Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.58.In line 17
70、, what is the authors purpose in mentioning “a rose, an apple, or an orchid”? A. To make the passage more poetic. B. To cite examples of plants that are attractive. C. To give botanical examples that all readers will recognize. D. To illustrate the diversity of botanical life.59.According to the pas
71、sage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture? A. The invention of agricultural implements and machinery. B. The development of a system of names for plants. C. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted. D. The changing diets of early humans.60.The relat
72、ionship between botany and agriculture is similar to the relationship between zoology (the study of animals) and _. A. deer huntingB. bird watching C. sheep raisingD. horseback ridingPart Four Cloze Test (10 %)Directions: There are 10 questions in this part of the test. Read the passage through. The

74、le, I came to realize that something is very wrong with the way American women are trying to live their lives today. I sensed it first as a 61 mark in my own life, as a wife and mother of three small children, half-guiltily, and therefore half-heartedly using my abilities and education in work that
75、took me 62 home. It was this personal question mark that led me to spend a great deal of time doing an intensive investigation of my college classmates, 15 years 63 our graduation from Smith. The answers given by 200 women to those intimate open-ended questions made me realize that 64 was wrong coul
