II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions:?Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with one proper word or the proper form of the given word to make the passage coherent. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.
Have you ever seen an old movie called Three Coins in the Fountain? It is about three young American women (1)?????????????(search) for permanent romance in Rome and they all find it. Far-fetched Hollywood? Well, from the world history point of view, romance did, in fact, set down its roots in Rome.
The word romance evolved in Latin from Roma to Romanicus of the Roman language, to the Old French romanz escrive, (2)??????????means “to write in a Romance language,” and on to the English romance.
The Romance languages (3)?????????(compose) of seven groups of languages that all have Latin (4)??????????their basis. These languages include French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The common people in ancient Rome spoke (5)????????is referred to as Vulgar Latin, an informal speech, as opposed to the classical Latin of the more educated. Most language experts agree that Vulgar Latin is the chief source of the Romance languages.
Medieval Romances were tales (6)________(write) primary in French verse about brave heroes. The notion of having a romance with another person is thought (7)????????(develop) sometime during the Middle Ages. In the late 8th?century and on through the 19th, a romance was not a love story (8)??????????a work of prose fiction that contained far-fetched, mysterious events. Romances of this period (9)?????????(include) English Gothic novels like The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.
What exactly is a twentieth-century romance? Does it have any relationship with the lively, popular novels written today, with their fantastic plots of love affairs? Or did the playwright Oscar Wilde have it right in The Picture of Dorian Gray:”When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving (10)???????????and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”
?
【答案】
1.searching
2.which
3.are composed
4.as
5.what
6.written
7.to have developed
8.but
9.included
10.oneself/himself
?
【分析】
1.考察非謂語。介詞about后面接動名詞,three young American women是動名詞的邏輯主語。故填searching。
2.考察定語從句。使用非限制性定語從句,先行詞是romanz escrive,指物,定語從句缺少主語,用關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo),非限制性定語從句不能用that引導(dǎo)。故填which。
3.考察謂語動詞。be composed of意為“由……組成”,主語是復(fù)數(shù),故填are composed。
4.考察介詞。have…as…意為“認(rèn)為……是……”。故填as。
5.考察名詞性從句。spoke后面是賓語從句,賓語從句中缺少主語,用what引導(dǎo)賓語從句。故填what。
6.考察非謂語。使用非謂語動詞作定語修飾tales,tales和write是被動關(guān)系,用過去分詞作狀語。故填written。
7.考察非謂語。使用Sb/Sth is thought to have done某人某物已經(jīng)做了某事。故填to have developed。
8.考察固定結(jié)構(gòu)。使用not…but…結(jié)構(gòu),意為“不是……而是……”。故填but。
9.考察謂語動詞。主語是Romances of this period“那個時期的愛情小說”,謂語是一般過去時。故填included。
10.考察代詞。句意:當(dāng)一個人開始戀愛的時候,總是開始欺騙自己。使用反身代詞,主語是one。故填oneself/himself。
Section B ??(10分)

Dear Editor,
Most public libraries now offer all visitors,kids and adults alike,free access to all sites on the Internet. Just like any powerful tool,(1)??????must be placed on it.After all, not all sites are good for children or appropriate for them. Some are violent. Some, in the name of free speech, say irresponsible things. Others feature(2)??????information for research. And many should be(3)
???????- “For Adults Only.”
In 2000, there were 7.1 million publicly(4)?????? sites on the Web, with over 200 new adult sites added each day. Couple this figure with the fact that there are(5)??????200 million American children under the age 18with Internet access, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Back in 1967, the American Library Association (ALA) passed a resolution (決議) that stated “a person’s right to use a library should not be(6)????????... because of origin, age, background, or views.” Some groups argue that this resolution gives children the right to free and total access to the Internet and its unsuitable sites.
This resolution was fine in the past, but it never considered the(7)??????of the Internet. Besides, the ALA isn’t a government agency. It has no power to pass laws, and its resolutions are not(8)???????binding(有約束力的).
We must pass real laws that(9)??????U.S. government funds for library computers to the use of software that(10)??????out offensive material online. If the libraries don’t use the software, then they don’t get computers.
As a working parent, I can’t be with my child every time he turns on the computer. I don’t expect libraries to be babysitters. But I do expect them to work with me, not against me, in making sure my child is protected from adult-only and other irresponsible sites.

Section B?(11*2=22分)
Directions:?Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to?that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.
For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反過來), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.
Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdale?(杏仁核). Compared with?boys, girls develop an earlier?connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大腦皮層), enabling them to talk about their feelings. But if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.
Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.
1. What does the underlined phrase?“cling to” in the first paragraph mean?
A. To maintain
B. To abandon
C. To prove?
D. To challenge
2. Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?
A. Girls are more emotional than boys.
B. Girls have more brain cells than boys.
C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.
D. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.
3. Which of the following does the author believe?
A. Girls need more training in communication.
B. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.
C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.
D. Sex differences should be ignored in education.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.
B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.
C. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.
D. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.
【答案】1. A??2. D ?3. B ?4. C
【解析】
-
猜測詞義題。第一段首先說20年前專家認(rèn)為男孩和女孩行為表現(xiàn)的差異是由于他們的父母老師和朋友對待他們的方式的差異,而后文卻說近期研究表明其實是生理差異導(dǎo)致的,因此可猜測It’s hard to cling to?that belief today的意思是“今天很難再堅持這個想法”,故推測cling to的意思是堅持、保持,本題正確答案為A。
-
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中的第三段Compared with?boys, girls develop an earlier?connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大腦皮層), enabling them to talk about their feelings.可知答案選擇D。
-
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom……可知Dr. Sax的觀點是男生和女生要分開教育,再由后文Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.可知,作者是贊成前面 “要因材施教,以不同的方式教育不同的性別”的觀點,故本題答案選B。
-
主旨大意題。文章開頭就通過將20年前專家對于男女生差異原因的觀點和最近專家的觀點進(jìn)行對比,引出話題,故而可以推斷,這篇文章的主旨就是證明生理差異是導(dǎo)致男女生表現(xiàn)不同的原因。故答案選擇C。

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章標(biāo)題以及表格的小標(biāo)題可推斷,這篇文章是在介紹一個學(xué)校King's College Summer School的每年的一個英語訓(xùn)練項目的申請日期、申請步驟、花費(fèi)和課程安排等,所以不太可能出現(xiàn)在旅游指南、畢業(yè)論文、大學(xué)文件里面,通過排除可知本題正確答案為A.
-
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。可運(yùn)用排除法。由第一段第一句話King's College Summer School is an annual (每年的) training program for high school students at all?levels who want to improve their English可知這個項目是每年一次而不是每兩年一次,而且不是只有最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生才能參加這個項目,故A、B錯;由第一段第二句話Courses are given by the teachers of King' s College and other?colleges in New York可知不是只有這個學(xué)校的老師上課,故D錯;所以答案選擇C。
-
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。表格Cost欄中可知一共花費(fèi)需要900美元,但如果選擇跟親戚住,則不需要Hotel service這項花費(fèi),所以只需要付500美元。故答案選擇C。
?
(C)
Like most people, I’ve long understood that I’ll be judged by my occupation, that my profession is used by people to see how talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.
Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suppose they’d never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily that he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.
I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon(勤雜工) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior(低等的)treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.
Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--- politely and formally.
I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from a person in advertising department with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it was because of money, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.
It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meet others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.
I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose job is to serve them.
1. What makes the author disappointed?
A. Professionals tend to look down upon workers.
B. Talented people have to do the job waiting tables.
C. One’s position is used to measure one’s intelligence.
D. Occupation affects the way one is treated as a person.
2. What does the author intend to say by the example in Paragraph 2?
A. Waiting tables is a hard job.
B. Some customers are difficult to deal with.
C. The man making a phone call is absent-minded.
D. Some customers show no respect to those who serve them.
3. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?
A. She felt it unfair to be treated as a servant.
B. She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.
C. She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.
D. She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.
4. The author says one day she’ll take her customers to dinner in order to _______.
A. see what kind of person they are
B. experience the feeling of being served
C. share her working experience with her customers
D. help them realize the difference between server and servant
【答案】1.D??2.?D??3.B??4. A
【解析】
-
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。原文首段第2句Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decide?show I’m treated as a person.可知。從句中的主語it指代前一句中的my occupation(職業(yè)),由此可以看出,讓作者感到失望的是“我的工作也能決定我身而為人是如何被對待的”,選項D“人的工作可以影響到他作為一個人被對待的方式”與原文是同義轉(zhuǎn)述,因此D為答案。
-
推理判斷題。第2段所舉事例是說,作者在當(dāng)飯店招待員時碰到了一位蠻橫無禮的顧客,對她隨意地呼來喚去。由此可見,作者想表達(dá)的意思是:很多顧客不尊重為他們提供服務(wù)的人,所以D正確。
-
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。原文第3段第2句But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from?professional adults可知作者19歲時在飯店當(dāng)招待員,不被顧客尊重,她對此的看法是“deserved inferior treatment”,即“比別人低人一等是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)?/span>”,換句話說,作者認(rèn)為這是十分自然的,即選項B所述的“natural”。正確答案為B。
-
推理判斷題。由原文末段最后一句I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them可知對于有求于她的人,作者會先帶他去吃飯,看看他是如何對待那些為他們提供服務(wù)的人。結(jié)合前文作者的經(jīng)歷和感受,可以看出,作者是想通過觀察他對服務(wù)生的態(tài)度和舉止來了解這個人的品性,故選項A為答案。

Five Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder
No matter how hard we work, it seems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done. Rather than working longer, consider working smarter, not harder. Here are some ways to work smarter:
Make a careful plan.?Just like every organization needs a business plan, an efficient worker needs a work plan.____1____Schedule your tasks throughout the days, weeks, and months, but do it ahead of time.
Set your goals.As a part of your work plan, you should set clear and measurable goals. Goals should state which tasks are to be completed and when they get completed. Rather than setting firm deadlines, which can lead to pressure and stress, allow a period of time to reach goals.Also, take time to reward yourself for achieving a goal.
____2____Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it! If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks(emails, reports), one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks.
Delegate(授權(quán))effectively.____3____The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and over?stressed, but is bad for their colleagues, by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.
Don’t make work harder than it actually is.?Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves.____4______We feel like we should do more. Remember that tasks should be completed step by step. Focus on each step rather than on the entire project, which can help us cut down on feelings that we are “overwhelmed”.
【答案】1.G??2.D??3.F??4.B
【解析】
-
根據(jù)文章第二段Make a careful plan.?Just like every organization needs a business plan, an efficient worker needs a work plan制定一個周密的計劃,就像每個組織都需要一個商業(yè)計劃一樣,一個有效率的員工需要一個工作計劃。前句提到工作需要計劃,那么下句就是關(guān)于什么樣的計劃有用,故選G。
-
根據(jù)文章第四段,If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks(emails, reports), one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks可知,如果是一個典型的工作日,每天留出特定的時間來完成各種任務(wù),可推測前文為安排你的工作日。
-
根據(jù)文章第五段_The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and over?stressed, but is bad for their colleagues如果誰試圖去獨自做一切,不僅使自己過度超載和過度緊張,而且影響同事,可推測前文應(yīng)為學(xué)會哪些任務(wù)可以被授權(quán),哪些需要個人關(guān)注,故選F。
-
根據(jù)文章第五段Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves可知不要對自己要求過高,工作過于努力,大部分壓力都是我們自己生產(chǎn)的,可推測后文應(yīng)為是我們自己設(shè)定了不合實際的目標(biāo)或標(biāo)準(zhǔn),故選B。
?
Ⅳ. Summary Writing(10分)
Directions:?Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before. Bust some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.
Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue(疲勞) in people after they got retired than while they were still employed.
The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.
Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions(養(yǎng)老金) that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.
“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says. “We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and ?depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”
【答案】
Many people expect to do what they want to do when they retire, but they also have diseases for retiring. One study reported that retired people tended to have less depression and fatigue, which can be owed to the relief from the stresses of work. Actually, the pensions and financial situations have much to do with their happiness in retirement ?(60words)

VI. Guided Writing
Directions:?Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.
近年來,微整形(Micro-surgery)因利用高科技的醫(yī)療技術(shù),不需要開刀,短時間使人變美變年輕而盛行。如果你有機(jī)會,你會嘗試嗎?請以此為話題,寫一篇作文。你的文章必須包括以下內(nèi)容:
-
分析微整形盛行的原因
-
你對此事的看法
When?it comes to micro-surgery, there have been widely publicized horror stories, including patients who have bled out during the procedure. Hence, the rise and bloom of micro-surgery has led to the public concern about its safety and necessity.
The reasons why micro-surgery is prevailing are as follows. First and foremost, the definition of beauty has changed dramatically over the past decades. In the past, beautiful women and men were distinct due to their different hairstyles and dressing. However, nowadays, pretty girls are almost alike or uniform with big eyes and a pointed chin. On top of that, the money-oriented mainstream values have altered the behaviors and ideology of the people and even the nation. Since the reform and opening-up, people now have led a better-off life which enables them to pursue material wealth. Micro-surgery is one of the few things people can show off among peers outwardly.
Nonetheless, I hold a firm belief that micro-surgery is neither a tool to revolutionize the beauty nor a golden time to display the wealth. Given the same amount of time and money, I would rather throw them into the sea than spend them on micro-surgery as we are born different. So be it.
