　　Part H Reading Comprehension ( 40 points)

　　Directions: in this part There are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one you think is the best answer, then mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet One with a single line through the center.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

　　In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.

　　In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made special study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor degree.

　　Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry.A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory.Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.

　　One type of test is sometimes called an " objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions.To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

　　21.In the Middle Ages students (　　).

　　A.took objective tests

　　B.specialized in one subject

　　B. spoken

　　C. objective

　　D. written

　　24.Modern industry must have developed (　　).

　　A.before the Middle Ages

　　B.around the 19th century

　　C.inGreece or Rome

　　D.machines to take tests

　　25.It may be concluded that testing (　　).

　　A.should test only opinions

　　B.should always be written

　　C.has changed since the Middle Ages

　　D.is given only in factories

　　Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.People tend to be over-trusting(過分信任) of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority.Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失靈).

　　Obviously, there would be no point in investing (投入) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own inter nal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute foi fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

Passage 4

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　A youngster's social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well as have a higher chance of dropping out (退學(xué) ). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than inpidually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends." When children work on project," says Lillian Kates, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, "they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can't be learned through lectures. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don't have any social skills.Relationships should be the first R."

　　At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by he outside world.Just as the 1-year-old struggles to walk, the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectation.

　　"Young kids don't know how to distinguish between effort and ability," says Tynette Hills, professor of early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey." if they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task." "The effects of obvious methods of comparison such as posting grades can be serious," says Hills, "a child who has had his confidence

　　PartⅡ

　　Passage l

　　21.【解析】D。細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一段第一句話“In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken，not written.”可知，古代沒有筆試。

　　22.【解析】D。主旨題。第三段一開始就談到“一般來講，現(xiàn)在的考試都是筆試”;隨后又談到“所有的考生在一個房間，規(guī)定時間，有監(jiān)考老師。”所以D是正確答案。

　　23.【解析】C。細(xì)節(jié)題。答案見最后一段第二句“出客觀題的時候，老師先出一系列的問題，每個問題后面都附有一個正確答案和幾個相似的答案。學(xué)生被要求找出正確答案。”因此：“學(xué)生必須選答案的考試是客觀考試。”C是正確答案。

　　24.【解析】B。細(xì)節(jié)題。文章的第三段提到“The written examination was not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry.”因此，筆試是l9世紀(jì)才為大家所知，可能是由于人口的增加和現(xiàn)代工業(yè)的發(fā)展。

　　25.【解析】C。細(xì)節(jié)題。因?yàn)锳、B、D的內(nèi)容文章中都沒有提到。C的意思是“自從中世紀(jì)以來，考試發(fā)生了變化。”因此C符合文章的內(nèi)容。

　　Passage 2

　　26.【解析】B。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章開篇第一句作者便表明了觀點(diǎn)：“當(dāng)涉及金錢或其他任何事情的時候，夫妻之間的沖突通常都反映出一種權(quán)力之爭。”由此出發(fā)，作者又引申出“父母和孩子之間的沖突也都是圍繞權(quán)力展開的”這一主題。A、C、D選項文章均未提到，所以選B。

　　27.【解析】C。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第三句提到，當(dāng)孩子進(jìn)入青年時期，他們就會要求得到更大的自由，去他們喜歡去的地方(即A選項)，做他們愿意做的事情(即D選項)，在沒有父母干涉的條件下自己做選擇(即B選項)，文章沒有提到的只有C。

　　28.【解析】C。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章倒數(shù)第二句可以得知，“代溝正在減小”的意思就是絕大多數(shù)的孩子都與父母的價值觀和思想相同。B選項“父母逐漸和孩子相處融洽”是代溝縮小的結(jié)果，而不是其含義;A與D與本題無關(guān)。

　　29.【解析】D。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章的第二段提到，在一個社會和道德觀念迅速變化的社會里，什么是重要的、什么是正確的。父母和孩子經(jīng)常會意見不同。由此可知D是正確的，而A、B、C都與本題無關(guān)。

　　30.【解析】A。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第四句提到，很多美國父母不知怎樣教育子女，只好從書上、講座里、家長培訓(xùn)課中尋求建議。文中沒提到的只有A。

　　Passage 3

　　31.【解析】D。歸納概括題。寫此文的目的可從文章的內(nèi)容概括出來。文章第一段講的是當(dāng)代人們過分信任計算機(jī);第二段講人類應(yīng)該依賴自己的大腦，不應(yīng)把計算機(jī)看作是思考技能的替代品。綜上可知防止人們肓目地信任計算機(jī)才是本文的寫作目的。

　　32.【解析】A。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由第二段可知，作者在建議人們應(yīng)依靠自己的大腦，對待計算機(jī)要持questioning(敢于懷疑)的態(tài)度并采取double check(仔細(xì)檢查)的手段。所以選A，意思是要持理性懷疑態(tài)度，也就是不要盲目地完全依賴它。作者并沒有說完全不信任計算機(jī)，要逐一核對答案，這樣計算機(jī)恐怕真的要扔掉了，所以8曲解了作者的用意。c(用電腦代替人腦)是作者在文中最反對的;D(僅將電腦用于商業(yè))太片面了。

　　33.【解析】B。推理判斷題。人類自己所擁有的“內(nèi)部計算機(jī)”當(dāng)然是指大腦以及大腦內(nèi)所存儲的知識了。這也體現(xiàn)了作者反對用電腦代替人腦的寫作目的。

　　34.【解析】D。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。over—trusting“過分信任的”。正如作者在第一段第三句所述，人類對待計算機(jī)的問題主要在于過分相信它并不愿挑戰(zhàn)它的權(quán)威性。Challenging“挑戰(zhàn)的”;psychological“心理的”;dramatic“戲劇性的”。

　　35.【解析】D。推理判斷題。此類題須弄清楚作者的真正意圖。正如前面所述，作者提倡的并不是完全不信任計算機(jī)，而是不要盲目地完全依賴它。A、B、C三項都是以不同方式使用計算機(jī)，而作者并未完全否定計算機(jī)的使用，所以這三項都不能選。只有D(完全依賴計算機(jī))才是作者不贊成的。

　　Passage 4

　　36.【解析】A。本題為作者觀點(diǎn)題。答案在第一段的第二句話：“Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academicallv as well.(不能和同學(xué)很好相處的學(xué)生，他的學(xué)習(xí)成績也會落后。)”作者認(rèn)為和同學(xué)關(guān)系不好會對他的學(xué)習(xí)造成負(fù)面的影響。

　　37.【解析】C。本題為詞匯猜測題。spot發(fā)現(xiàn)，找出。原文是：“In the early grades especially，

　　experts say，youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than inpidually so that teachers can spot children who mav be having problems making friends.(專家說，尤其是在早期，應(yīng)當(dāng)鼓勵小孩子一起學(xué)習(xí)，而不是獨(dú)自學(xué)習(xí)，這樣老師們就能發(fā)現(xiàn)哪些學(xué)生在交朋友方面有困難。)”

　　38.【解析】A。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。答案在第二段的第二句話：“For most children，school marks the first time that their goals are not set by internal clock but by the outside world.(對于大多數(shù)的學(xué)生來講，學(xué)校使他們第一次明白他們目標(biāo)的，實(shí)現(xiàn)是由外部世界決定的，而不是內(nèi)在的因素。)”因此學(xué)校使學(xué)生明白是社會而不是個人決定他們的未來。

　　39.【解析】D。本題為作者態(tài)度題。答案在第二段的最后一句話：“‘The effects of obvious

　　methods of comparison such as posting grades can be serious，’says Hills，‘a child who has his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation.’(‘明顯對比分?jǐn)?shù)的做法后果是相當(dāng)嚴(yán)重的。’黑爾說，‘自尊心受到傷害的學(xué)生需要治療。’)”因此作者最不愿意做的事情就是公開學(xué)生的成績。

　　40.【解析】C。本題為主旨題。作者在第一段談到：孩子們的社會能力會對他們的學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)生很大的影響，因此一個人的社會能力應(yīng)當(dāng)放在第一位。第二段談到：學(xué)生的自信心非常重要。因此一個學(xué)生最關(guān)心的應(yīng)當(dāng)是具有社會化的能力和對自己能力的感覺。

　　PartⅢ

　　41.【解析】C。cover“覆蓋”，在本句中指美國占據(jù)北美大陸的很大一部分面積。其他三個詞都與本意無關(guān)，所以選C。

　　42.【解析】A。表示兩個地區(qū)的位置有三個介詞：in、to、on。in表示兩者存在所屬或包含的關(guān)系。(如臺灣和中國的關(guān)系)，to表示兩地相鄰但不接壤(如中國和日本的關(guān)系)，on表示相鄰且接壤(如中國和越南的關(guān)系)。因選項中沒有on，就只能選to，表相鄰。

　　43.【解析】A。“美國是個大國”與“它不是世界上最大的國家”兩個分句間很顯然是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)選although，只有它表轉(zhuǎn)折。now that=since“現(xiàn)在，既然”，表原因。

　　44.【解析】C。本句意思是美國獨(dú)立后有13個州，每個州都在美國國旗上有所表現(xiàn)。謂語動詞是was，意味著主語是單數(shù);這樣排除了aU和some。而every一般不與of連用，所以只能選each。

　　45.【解析】B。two more stars“又多了兩顆星”。another表示“又，再”的時候，往往放數(shù)詞之前，應(yīng)說“another two stars”。

　　46.【解析】D。representing the new states“代表著兩個新州”，該結(jié)構(gòu)是現(xiàn)在分詞短語，修飾stars，因?yàn)閟tars和represent之間是主動關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞來表示。

　　47.【解析】A。介詞of在此處表示同位關(guān)系，即the new states就是指Alaska和Hawaii。又如：the city of Beijing北京市。

　　48.【解析】B。in great numbers“大量地，大批地，成群結(jié)隊地”，指人成群地來，固定搭配。

　　49.【解析】A。on the coast“沿著海岸線”。coast往往和on相搭配，而不與其他介詞搭配。

　　50.【解析】C。for that reason“由于那個原因”，固定搭配。又如for some reason“由于某種原因”。

　　Part IV

　　51.一項對7500多名專業(yè)人員開展的全國性調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，近十分之一的受訪者稱自己有中度或重度的抑郁癥癥狀。

　　52.此外，這項由“跨越郁悶”這個抗抑郁癥的組織開展的調(diào)查也表明，30歲以下的人患抑郁癥的比例最高.而且這一人群用藥物和酒精飲料“自我麻痹”的幾率最大。

　　53.海耶特博士說：“我們常把抑郁癥與最弱勢的社會群體以及有經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力的人聯(lián)系在一起，但另一個完全不同的人群也存在這個問題。”

　　54.“人們將事業(yè)成功作為自己的首要目標(biāo)，但當(dāng)實(shí)際情況達(dá)不到期望值時，他們就無法維持工作與生活的平衡，這便會影響他們的心理健康。”

　　55.楊先生說：“我們認(rèn)為患抑郁癥的人不應(yīng)為此而感到羞恥，不該默默地獨(dú)自忍受而應(yīng)該向同事求助。”

　　Part V

　　Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary

　　In many kinds of English tests such as CET( College English Test), TEM( Test for English majors),etc.a test of spoken English will be optional.Some people consider that it is unquestionably necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because spoken English is as important as written English.Both of them are effective communication ways for English speakers. But sometimes even those top students who are good at grammar and writing skills find that it is difficult to express their thoughts freely when speaking.A test of spoken English will make students attach more importance to oral English, and thus help them with their communicating skills.

　　On the other hand, there are also people who hold that good reading, writing and translating skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under great pressure from their study, Another required test will be a burden to them.

　　In my opinion, ! believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm.And I shall make all my efforts to practice and improve my spoken English.
