minutes, 30 points,

1 point each)

Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully,

and then to the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Passage One Justin was always prepared. His motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.” His bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room. “What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.” When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack. He liked to think of it as a smaller version of his bedroom—a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. It was full of the kind of things that seemed unimportant, but when used with a little imagination, might come in handy. Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin. “Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?” he asked. “I lost the scrap of paper it was written on. I have science class in two minutes and if I’m late on the first day it’ll make me look bad for the rest of the year.” Kenny looked genuinely worried. “Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.” He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint indentations（印凹痕）on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the indentations. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings. “That’s amazing!” Kenny said. “I owe you one.” And he dashed off to open his locker.

51. Why is Justin’s room such a mess?

A. He always forgets to clean.

B. He never throws anything away. C. He has no time to clean.

D. He shares a room with his brother.

52. The word “pleaded” in Paragraph 1 can best be replace by _________.

A. ignored B. asked C. pushed D. begged

53. In what way is Justin’s backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?

A. He uses it as a place to store objects.

B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment. C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time. D. He’s had for as long as he can remember. 54. How does Justin help his friends?

A. He offers them advices. B. He loans them his backpack. C. He listens to their problem.

D. He used the objects in his backpack.

55. How come Justin could help Kenny recover his locker combination?

A. Justin remembered Kenny’s locker combination.

B. Kenny had left the scrap of paper in Justin’s backpack.

C. Kenny had left indentations of the combination on Justin’s notebook. D. Justin found the scrap of paper the locker combination was written on. 56. The author’s purpose in writing this story is to ________.

A. inform B. entertain C. educate D. satirize

Passage Two Only moment after announcing a policy of zero tolerance on cell phone use in the classroom, Ali Nazemi heard a ring. Nazemi, a business professor at Roanoke College in Virginia, took out a hammer and walked towards a young man. He smashed the offending device. Students' faces turned white all over the classroom. This episode reflects a growing challenge for American college teachers in, as The New York Times puts it, a “New Class (room) War: Teacher vs. Technology”. Fortunately, the smashed-phone incident had been planned ahead of time to demonstrate teacher’s anger at inattentive students distracted by high-high gadgets. At age 55, Nazemi stands on the far shore of a new sort of generational divide between teacher and student. The divide separates those who want to use technology to grow smarter from those who want to use it to get dumber. Perhaps there’s a nicer way to put it. “The baby boomers seem to see technology as information and communication,” said Michael Bugeja, the author of

Interpersonal Divide: The Search for Community in a Technological Age. “Their children seem to see the same devices as entertainment and socializing.” All the advances schools and colleges have made to supposedly enhance learning have instead enabled distraction. Bugeja’s online survey of several hundred students found that a majority had used their cell phones, sent or read e-mail, and logged onto social-network sites during class time. A quarter of the respondents admitted they were taking the survey while sitting in a different class. The Canadian company Smart Technologies makes and sells a program called SynchronEyes. It allows a classroom teacher to monitor every student’s computer activity and to freeze it at a click. Last year, the company sold more than 10,000 licenses. The biggest problem, said Nancy Knowlton, the company’s chief executive officer, is staying ahead of students trying to crack the program’s code. “There’s an active discussion on the Web, and we’re monitoring it,” Ms. Knowlton said. “They keep us on our toes.”

57. Prof. Nazemi smashed the student’s cellphone with a hammer because _______.

A. students in his class didn’t listen to his announcement B. he hated new gadgets such as cellphones

C. he no longer tolerated cellphone use in the calssroom D. he wanted to show how distractive the cellphone was

58. According to the passage high-tech gadgets can make youngsters _______.

A. more intelligent B. more stupid

C. study more easily D. get more information

59. “The baby boomers” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _______.

A. the generation of people like Ali Nazemi

B. the generation of people like Ali Nazemi’s students C. the very young babies

D. the people who were born in the 1980s

60. All the following statements are true EXPECT _______.

A. schools have used advanced devices to enhance students’ learning B. many students use their cellphones during class time C. young people see the interpersonal devices as toys

D. schools’ advanced facilities are effectively used by students

61. The biggest problem for the Canadian company Smart Technologies is _______.

A. students may soon decode their program SynchronEyes

B. whether they have the right to allow teacher to monitor students C. they must sell the program without the students’ knowing of it

D. they have to discuss whether the SynchronEyes is useful on the Web 62. The best title of this passage is _______.

A. Different Opinions Between Teachers and Students B. Classroom Chaos over Gadget Use C. The Development of Classroom Wars D. Keep Us on Our Toes

Passage Three Hand in hand with the one you love, you gaze at the horizon to watch the earth rise. It sound like science fiction, but companies around the world are working hard to make this sort of holiday a reality. The idea of space tourism has been around for nearly forty years now. At first NASA made plans for the ultimate in holiday destination, but then private companies became involved in the mid-1980s. The Challenger shuttle disaster of 1986 postponed their plans, but now space is back as a future holiday resort. The Hilton hotel group has produced ambitious and serious plans for hotels on the moon, as well as orbiting hotels, hoping to give their space tourists’ different holiday experience. But zero-gravity will be a little uncomfortable. “There will be space motion sickness in the first few days, with headaches and nausea,” says George Turner, a hopeful space tour operator. Hotels will try to prevent these problems by providing areas with the sensation of gravity. This means going to parts of the hotel that will be spinning. Centrifugal（离心的）force will push you against the wall, and give the feeling of some weight. Since it will be possible to lie down, many people will probably prefer to sleep in these areas. The alternative will be to strap themselves into a sleeping bag attached to a wall. Sunbathing will be possible, but will require some very strong sunscreen protection factor 1000 will do it. However the plans all depend on one thing: cheap space travel. At the moment the only re-usable rocket is NASA's space shuttle. The cost of each shuttle launch is US$1 billion. A space craft that only costs US$2 million per launch is what the travel industry is looking for. So far that remains a far-off dream, but it may come a lot closer if someone wins the X-Prize? Launched in 1997, the X-Prize offers US$10 million to anyone who can build a re-usable space craft. All you have to do is launch three people 100 km into space twice within three weeks. So far 16 companies are racing to win the prize money. But the real prize will be the income from space tourism, estimated to be US$12 billion per year: as Turner explains: “ Just think what you'll be able to tell your friends that you had a holiday that was really out of this world!”

63. The idea of spending holiday in space ____ _ _. A. was first proposed by NASA in the mid-1980s B. had been questioned by NASA for nearly 40 years

C. became appealing to private companies in the mid-1980s D. drew the attention of private companies four decades ago 64. According to Hilton, in their hotels on the moon _______ A. zero gravity will not be a problem to tourists B. motion sickness is still unavoidable for tourists

C. adjustment to space life will be easier with training for tourists D. excitement may help tourists overcome their physical discomfort 65. The spinning areas in space hotels will help tourists _______ A. take the sun bath B. sleep lying down C. fix their sleeping bag D. enjoy the space walk

66. What can we learn the X-Prize?

A. Its aim is to cut the cost of per space craft launch to US$2 million. B. The winner has managed to put people into space twice in 3 weeks. C. It’s offered by NASA to build a new type of reusable space craft. D. Many companies are competing to win the US$10 million prize. 67. What is the attitude of Turner towards the future of space tourism? A. Confident. B. Cautious. C. Suspicious. D. Uninterested.

68. The passage is focused on ________

A. why it is possible to make space tourism a reality B. what should be done to prepare for space tourism C. the plans for space tourism and the existing problem D. the opportunities and challenges posed by space tourism

Passage Four Defending the French language from the creeping invasion of English has long been a favorite pastime of France’s elite. In 2006 Jacques Chirac walked out of a Brussels summit in protest at a Frenchman speaking in English. It is a point of national pride to protect French music, film, even advertising, from the corrupting influence of English. So why are the French giving up the struggle? As French children filed back to school on September 2nd, Xavier Darcos, the education minister, announced that he was increasing English-language teaching in the curriculum. “I’ve had enough of hearing that the French do not learn English,” he said. “It’s a big disadvantage for international competition.” By the end of compulsory schooling, he promised, all pupils should be bilingual. The French are embracing English in less high-minded ways too. When they entered a song in English at this year’s Eurovision song contest, it provoked ironic amusement abroad, but indifference at home. In fact for many young French musicians singing in English is now de rigueur. “The children of globalization are giving up writing in French,” declared Le Monde, the bible of the French elite—without apparent regret. Despite rules requiring advertising slogans in English to be sub-titled, French manufacturers still borrow English words. France’s fashion press is another cross-dresser, writing of “Vive la fashion attitude”. In a post-modern twist, teenagers are importing American slang via the heavily north African suburbs, where hip-hop flourishes and street dress is styled on New York city. Once this might have had official France spluttering with indignation. The rules designed to fend off English remain—and are an obstacle to new musicians who do not qualify for the quota of radio time reserved for singers in French. Yet in the globalized, internet age, the French seem to realize, as Mr Darcos put it, that the losers from a refusal to learn English are themselves—and that speaking it need not make them less French. Part of this is down to Mr. Chirac’s successor, Nicolas Sarkozy, who, although no linguist, rejects the atavistic anti-Americanism that adds much hostility to English. Appropriately, the new album by his wife, Carla Bruni, has a track in English—presumably not one his predecessor will listen to.

69. According to the education minister Xavier Darcos, _____ __. A. French pupils will benefit from more English learning B. it is necessary to protect the French language in schools

C. compulsory English lessons may not be as good as an advantage D. globalization has put the French language at an advantage

70. What does the phrase “de rigueur” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Problematic. B. Unsuccessful.

C. Tolerable. D. Proper.

71. It can be learned that le Monde _____ __. A. strongly supports the use of English

B. is worrying about the rapid spread of English

C. feels sorry that the French prefer English over French D. considers it acceptable for the French to use more English

72. Which of the following fields is NOT mentioned to demonstrate the rising English influence? A. Music

B. Commerce. C. Advertising D. Fashion

73. Compared with Mr. Chirac, President Sarkozy ________ Frenchman’s using English. A. is more critical of B. care too much about C. gives more support to D. gains more profits from

74. The best title for the passage is “_____ _”.

A. The never-ending battle to defend the French language B. Predominance of the English language in modern France

C. The French hostility to the English language is relaxed D. Tension emerged between the French and English languages

Passage Five For much of its history, psychology has seemed obsessed with human failings and pathology. The very idea of psychotherapy, first formalized by Freud, rests on a view of human beings as troubled creatures in need of repair. Freud himself was profoundly pessimistic about human nature, which he felt was governed by deep, dark drives that we could hardly control. The scientists who followed developed a model of human life that seemed to many mechanical if not robotic: humans were passive beings harshly shaped by the stimuli and the contingent rewards and punishments that surrounded them. After World War II, psychologists tried to explain how so many ordinary citizens could have agreed with fascism, and did work symbolized in the 1950 classic The Authoritarian Personality by T.W. Adorno, et al. Social psychologists followed on. Some of the most famous experiments proved that normal folk could become coldly insensitive to suffering when obeying “legitimate”

orders or cruelly aggressive when playing the role of prison guard. A watershed moment arrived in 1998, when University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman, in his presidential address to the American Psychological Association, urged psychology to “turn toward understanding and building the human strengths to complement our emphasis on healing damage.” That speech launched today’s positive psychology movement. Though not denying humanity’s flaws, the new positive psychologists recommend focusing on people’s strengths and virtues as a point of departure. Rather than analyze the psychopathology underlying alcoholism, for example, positive psychologists might study the toughness of those who have managed a successful recovery—for example, through organization like Alcoholics Anonymous. Instead of viewing religion as a delusion and a support, as did Freud, they might identify the mechanisms through which a spiritual practice like meditation enhances mental and physical health. Their lab experiments might seek to define not the conditions that induce wicked behavior, but those that foster generosity, courage, creativity, and laughter. Seligman’s idea quickly caught on. The Gallup Organization founded the Gallup Positive Psychology Institute to sponsor scholarly work in the field. In 1999, 60 scholars gathered for the first Gallup Positive Psychology Summit; two years later, the conference went international, and ever since has drawn about 400 attendees annually.

75. Psychotherapy is based on the idea that human beings ________. A. are suffering B. often lie

C. are eager to control each other D. can effectively control themselves

76. According to Freud, human nature ________. A. was positive on the whole

B. was controlled by secret desires C. was inclined to control other people D. was becoming worse and worse

77. The research discussed in the second paragraph showed that ________. A. compassion was essential to human nature B. fascism had brought disasters to human nature C. suffering could not change human nature D. man could be harsh by nature

78. What does the passage say about positive psychology? A. It stresses that human nature is perfect. B. It rejects the role of religion. C. It began in 1998. D. It began in 1950.

79. What may be an example of “wicked behavior” (Pare.4)? A. Making a toy.

B. Giving money to the poor. C. Drinking without control. D. Believing in a religion.

80. What does the passage say about Martin Seligman?

A. His idea was hard for many people to understand. B. He stressed the role of good human qualities. C. He founded the Gallup Organization. D. His idea caused a lot of controversy.

Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)

Directions: Put the following paragraph into Chinese. Write your Chinese version in the proper

space on Answer Sheet Ⅱ.

When dominant innovators in a science respond to the challenge of a situation that demands some change in its practice, this may take a number of forms, and rival schools may grow up around different leaders responding differently to a particular situation. These rivalries may be reinforced and perpetuated by the use of standard textbooks. Any empirical science must be able to cope with its own phenomena, and once any observation is accepted as relevant, its theory and modes of description and analysis must be able to handle it with scientific adequacy, of which exhaustiveness, consistency economy are basis principles. The extension of a science to new but relevant fields may require the further elaboration and presentation of existing theory along previously-followed lines.

形势要求某一学科改变研究方法，该学科主要革新者迎接形势的挑战时，可能采取若干形式, 而且由于不同学术带头人对某一形势有不同的反应, 会出现彼此对立的学派。 标准教科书的使用加剧了对立的局面并使其长期存在。 任何基于经验的科学必须能处理属于自己领域内的现象。 一旦某个观察被认为是相关的, 该学科的理论和描述分析方式必须能科学地对这一观察加以处理, 内容详尽、观点一致和省钱省力是基本的原则。 把某一学科延伸到新的相关领域可能要求沿着先前的路线对现有的理论做进一步阐述和表达。
