II. Cloze (1 point for each, altogether 10 points)
Directions: Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
Families have always been changing. For example, once the family was the world. In 31 words，at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was the child's only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays，the family is still the "world" in some cultures. But in many cultures，these 32functions of the family have largely been 33by other institutions，such as schools，churches，and governments.
In the 34，families changed in other ways，some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants，the family had to be small 35move around, and when they settled down to 36to obtain food，they found that they needed more 37to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38to their children，people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.
How are families changing today? The number of nuclear families（核心家庭）seems to be increasing everywhere in the world，while that of extended families is 39. One reason for this seems to be that in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city. Extended families are hard to maintain when people have to be free to move in order to find 40.

III. Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)
Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
Passage 1
Intelligent young people want to go to university, and it is logical for a country to provide university places for them to ensure that there will be good-trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future. So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.
The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their calculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and too theoretical. But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to science subjects.
41．What is "logical" according to the first paragraph?_______.
Intelligent young people want to go to university.
The government should set up universities to train young people for the country.
People who run the country should be well-trained.
University is the place to train young men and women.
42．What makes the new universities different from the traditional ones?_______.
There are more science subjects in them.
There are more arts students in them.
Their curriculum is more scientifically planned.
They are equipped with more modern facilities.
43．What does "their calculations"(par.2)refer to ?_______.
Their plan to defeat the traditional university education.
Their calculations of how many students study science and how many students study arts.
Their thought that science is practical.
Their assumption that people are willing to study the practical science subjects in the university.
44．Which of the following shows the advantage of technical schools over universities correctly?_______.
They have more qualified teachers.
They have more qualified courses.
The students can be qualified to work within a short time.
If the students get qualification in technical schools, they are more well-received by industry.
45．Why does the majority of the students prefer to study arts in university?_______.
The reason is not clear.
The science courses in university are too theoretical.
Arts sound nobler than science.
The curriculum of science course is not well-arranged.
Passage 2
Most Europeans want small cars. Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.
The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.
Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than a large one.
Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.
Other Americans, however, have learned to like small, nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WWⅡ discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.
In the 1950s，many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it "the bug".
Today, American car buyers have a wide choice. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some American-made, for people who want easy parking and economical operation.
46．Implied but not stated:_______.
All Americans buy European cars.
No one wants to drive a powerful car.
Small cars are not expensive to run.
Americans don't like roomy cars.
47．What does the word "nimble" mean?_______.
cheap
beautiful
swift
foreign
48．On the whole, the article tells about_______.
parking cars in America
the price of gasoline
the price of roomy cars
big cars and small cars
49．Why do some people want to purchase big cars? _______.
They want to have elbow room, comfort and power.
It is easier to park big cars.
They need to make long-distance journey.
Big cars cost less than small cars.
50．Which statement seems true according to the article?_______.
Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe.
People like to choose cars from many choices.
People like to buy European cars without any specific reason.
No one drives big cars in Old World cities.
Passage 3
The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug could not have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realized, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome （笨重的）over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “Bicycle makes car obsolete!” We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link.
Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.
51．If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_______.
unsuitable for its purpose
in advance of its time
unnecessarily expensive
too far for safety
52．The railway train and the radio are examples of things which_______.
were not fully appreciated at the time of their invention
are more suitable for use now than when they were invented
are neglected in favor of more recent invention
are less suited to their purpose than earlier invention
53．According to the author, buttons are preferable to zippers because they_______.
are more convenient
are more reliable
cost less to replace
are more complete
54．What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _______.
Modern technology can't solve our problems.
Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.
We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions.
Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits
55．What does the word "obsolete" mean?_______.
outdated
slow in movement
ridiculous
awkward

范文：College Students’ Job Hunting
In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job. It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play. Then what underlies the strange phenomenon?
There are several reasons for this. To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high. All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others. Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider not “good” enough. Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs. So companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.
Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students. The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains. They should be down-to–earth in building up their career. Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.

III. Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)
Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
Passage 1
Centuries ago，man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it，and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind. In this way the North American Indians produce dried meat and make it into cakes. The Scandinavians make dried fish and the Arabs make dried dates.
All foods contain water-cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93% water，potatoes and other root vegetables 80%，lean meat 75% and fish anything from 80% to 60% depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is stopped.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The most common method of such drying is to put food in chambers through which 430C exists. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetable, minced meat and fish. Liquids such as milk，coffee，tea，soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated horizontal steel cylinder or by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first case，the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small pieces，though still relatively coarse flakes. In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required，as in soup，the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen，and they are invaluable to climbers，explorers and soldiers in battle，who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them. Usually it is just a matter of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.
41. The North American Indians produce dried meat by_______.
putting the food in chambers
pouring the food over a heated steel
exposing the food to sun and wind
replacing the moisture with boiling water
42．How much water do leaf vegetables generally contain? _______．
80%
60%
75%
93%
43. In the third paragraph, the phrase "in the first case" (Line 5) refers to_______.
the case that liquids are sprayed into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes
the case that liquids are poured over a heated horizontal steel cylinder
the case that the liquids are exposed to sun and wind
the case that the liquids are put in chambers through which 430C exists
44. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of dried food?_______．
Taking up less room
Tasting better
Weighing less
Taking less time to cook
45．What does the word "invaluable" in the last paragraph mean? _______．
"Priceless"
"Worthless"
"Invariable"
"Inviting"
Passage 2
There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable． At an earlier period ,our desire for material wealth may have been justified． Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems． Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast．
Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down． They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth． These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world's population． As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease．
People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate, there are still many poor people in the world． They believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world．
This debate, we believe, is of vital importance to business and industry． If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored．To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another．
46．For people who criticize economic growth, we must slow down for the following reasons except that_______．
the world population is ever increasing
the fixed supply of natural resources is close to limit
the harmful effect on environment
the more effective measures we should take to better our life
47．Those who are in favor of economic growth believe that economic growth_______．
will help to control the population explosion.
will provide more opportunities of work for people.
will be of great significance to the advance of society.
will help to protect the natural environment.
48．Which of the following statements is NOT true? _______.
The discussion revolves around economic growth．
Man's desire for better life is unreasonable．
Our environment is facing some serious problems．
People are much concerned about the environment．
49．From the passage, we may infer that_______．
the author hopes more people will take part in this debate.
there are many poor people in the world who are in need of help.
some natural resources are running out.
the author, as well as some economists, worries a lot about the problems we face.
50．One of the best titles for this passage might be"_______"．
The Importance of Economic Growth
A Heated Debate
Poor People in the World
Environment VS． Economy
Passage 3
Before the 1930s ,workers were only paid as long as they were "smart"． If they were smart enough not to be ill, they were paid． If they were smart enough not to be injured, they were paid． When people were not this smart, they looked for help． Their families, private charities, and churches did what they could． All of these groups helped when the economy was healthy．
When the Depression hit, families, charities and churches were weakened． And there was more need of them than ever before． One construction worker wrote in his diary : "Went to church, I said the family needed something to keep going． Got a nice sermon． Came home, pocket empty．" His story was told by millions of others． Even when charities did help, people were not completely happy． Their pride went hungry．
In 1935, Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act． The Act provided money for the elderly, the blind, and the handicapped． Workers benefited too． Workers who were ill or injured were to receive money． Families were to receive assistance when working father died． People laid off from work were to be helped until they found new jobs．
51．What did the construction worker want to get from church? _______.
Work．
Charity．
A sermon．
A prayer．
52．The Social Security Act_______．
mainly helps those who are disabled
is another kind of charity
benefits those who are proud
helps people with their own money
53．It can be concluded that workers before 1935 were_______．
smarter than today's workers
more religious than today's workers
healthier than today's workers

范文On Saving Money
With the development of society and the improvement of people’s life, more and more families have more extra money. Some people tend to save money to put the spare money into banks. Most of them don’t have much money and are afraid of poor life in the future.
However, others feel like using tomorrow’s money today like some young people. They tend to buy their cars or even computers in installments. To them, what counts is the current happiness, but there is a possibility that they might not pay off the debt one day if they lack self-control.
In my opinion, we should use money properly. The key point is that we must make the best use of the money we have and plan for future life.

His education was a brief and most 34one for a gentleman, and it was all the formaleducation he was to have, since, unlike some of the other young Virginian gentlemen of his 35, he did not go on to a collage.
In terms of intellectual preparation and power, then, Washington is in sharp 36 with some other American 37, such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of 38training. He never felt comfortable in formal debate, or in discussions that were not concerned with everyday, practical 39. And in as much as he never learned to speak French, he refused to visit France because he felt he would be embarrassed 40speak directly to the statesmen of that country. Thus unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

Passage 1
Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions and friends are increasingly in danger of suffering from the rise in the cases of burglary and attack．
Figures indicate an ever-increasing rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "it will never happen to me "．Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim．Fortunately, there is something definite that you can do． Protect Alarms can protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable．
You must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication that your house is safe． It simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house that they will not break into easily, so they turn to unprotected houses where their job is much easier．
Send now for our free leaflet telling you know we can protect your house quickly, easily and cheaply． Complete and tear off the slip below and post it to us． Postage is free． Alternatively, telephone us on 3219876 where we have a round-the -clock answering service． It costs nothing to find out about Protect Alarms．

范文：On Volunteering activities
In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people, especially among youngsters. According to a survey, in 2008, there were about 1,700,000 volunteers who offered service for Olympic Games. Actually, an increasing number of people become volunteers every year in China.
Volunteering actions are of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games.
As modern college students, we should get actively involved in volunteering activities. By participating, We can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve our interpersonal skills and organizational ability. Undoubtedly, all of these are critical for our person growth. So, we should take this chance to learn and to grow.
