In this section, there are ten English sentences. Translate them into proper Chinese and write the answers on your answer sheet.I came back yesterday from Hong Kong where I had spent two weeks vacation after the completion of the construction job I had been in charge of in the south.As he walked away, he turned for one last glimpse of her in the doorway, tiny and smiling and waving good-bye.I’m lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up.His words failed him for the moment.Theatre will be reinvented and become much freer and more imaginative.Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially the dreadful consequences of taking up the habit.For countless ages the sun rose and set, the moon waxed and waned, the stars shone in the night, but it was only with the coming of Man that these things were understood.Many sketches are in existence of peasants seated by the roadside and men and women at work in the fields.For 20 years we were passive witnesses to the deterioration of prices of our raw materials and an excessive increase of the prices of manufactured goods.The statement declared that the international economic order must be changed or the gap between developed and developing countries would continue to widen.

In this new era, the single most immediate and most serious challenge to America’s traditional identity comes from the immense and continuing immigration from Latin America, especially from Mexico, and the fertility rates of these immigrants compare to black and white American natives. Americans like to boast of their past success in assimilating millions of immigrants without distinguishing among them and have focused on the economic costs and benefits of immigration, ignoring its social and cultural consequences. As a result, they have overlooked the unique characteristics and problems posed by contemporary Hispanic immigration. The extent and nature of this immigration differ fundamentally from those of previous immigration, and the assimilation successes of the past are unlikely to be duplicated with the contemporary flood of immigrants from Latin America. This reality poses a fundamentally questions: Will the United States remain a country with a single national language and a core-Anglo-Protestant culture? By ignoring this question, Americans acquiesce to their eventual transformation into two people with two cultures.The impact of Mexican immigration on the United States becomes evident when one imagines what would happen if Mexican immigration abruptly stopped. The annual flow of legal immigrants would drop by about 175,000 closer to the level recommended by the 1990s Commission on Immigrants Reform chaired by former U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. Illegal entries would diminish dramatically. The wages of low-income U.S. citizens would improve. Debates over the use of Spanish and whether English should be made the official language of state and national governments would subside. Bilingual education and the controversies it spawns would virtually disappear, as would controversies over welfare and other benefits for immigrants. The debate over whether immigrants pose an economic burden on state and skills of the immigrants continuing to arrive would reach their highest levels in U.S history. The inflow of immigrants would again become highly diverse, creating increased incentives for all immigrants to learn English and absorb U.S culture. And most important of all, the possibility of a de facto split between a predominantly Spanish-speaking United States and an English-speaking United States would disappear, and with it, a major potential threat to the country’s culture and political integrity.1.What makes Americans very proud in the past is （）.2.Which of the following did not make the Americans neglect the current immigration flood?3.It can be inferred from the passage that （）. 4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?5.The best title for the passage is（）.

Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weights 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the clever the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby ail at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions... and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to the research.If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.1.The passage mainly tells us （）.2.Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?3.What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?4.Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?5.What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?

Since we are so social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationship. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness and absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—a financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.1.Social companionship is beneficial in that （）.2.Interpersonal relationships are important because （）. 3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “cushions” (Para. 3)?4.Research shows that people’s physical and mental health （）. 5.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of （）.

One of the aims of teaching science is, through learning, to enable students to develop a complete personality by creativity, honesty, eagerness to acquire knowledge, freedom of speech and thought, and critical assessment. This is an ambitious aim which we unfortunately, rarely consider. During teaching we devote our attention more to the content than to the aims. We thus see that science is one of the school subjects least favored by students.The emotional elements of music, dancing, painting, poetry and drama have a strong impact on students. For science to evoke the same feelings, it should be taught with the help of the expressive arts. Unlike traditional didactic approaches, drama also offers a synthesis of visual, kinetic and auditory experiences, apart from the understanding of facts and figures as a result of rational and analytical perception. Drama and other artistic activities can assist in reaching the cognitive goals of the curriculum, as they are effective means of motivation. Isn’t there a better chance that students who have developed a love for science will learn it more easily? Science too can be aesthetic, creative and emotional.By using drama techniques, we facilitate collaboration between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, whereas traditional techniques of teaching science stress only the use of abilities found in the left of hemispheres—that is, the analytical perception of scientific notions and phenomena. We allow students to engage in the learning process as full personalities with all their knowledge and abilities. Thus we develop not only logical and mathematical intelligence, but also a wider spectrum of the students’ abilities. Our traditional experience is largely based on a linear perception of the subject. As students, we have not been used to developing ways of creative and intuitive thinking, especially in science subjects. This is why combining expressive arts with science is accepted with difficulty by many.When using drama in teaching science, we meet paradoxes which can, on the one hand, make the use of drama unsuccessful, and on the other hand, enable knowledge of science to be integrated into society and social phenomena that is life in general. Science is taught on the basis of scientific discoveries——laws and explanations of phenomena which are clearly defined and allow no individual or sociological interpretations. Stealing a wallet, for example, will be interpreted as something negative by the owner and something positive by the pickpocket. Drama broadens our imagination, science is said to narrow it. When observing traditional didactic forms of teaching science, we see that students are required to understand very abstract notions. The notion of the atom or the molecule is demonstrated by concrete means including symbols, various types of atom and molecule models, sketches, experiments, photographs and animated films. These help students to develop their imagination and conceptions which, can, individually, be very different despite the fact that they were all taught with the same techniques and materials.These differences arise from the differences in students，personalities. We must take into account that students have different sensory abilities. They receive information through visual, auditory and kinetic channels of perception with different intensity. They also have different intellectual abilities. Thus it is easy for some students to logically combine scientific phenomena or visualize what the latter looks like.1.The fact that students dislike science class is because science classes （）.2.In order to motivate students in science class, should be employed （）. 3.A suitable title of the passage can be （）. 4.The researcher’s aim is to （）. 5.According to the text, which of the following is CORRECT?

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentleman from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.During the time, all my knowledge of him was limit to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “do you think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No sir.”“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”“Sir, I’m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something likes that.”“No, you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “yes, you are right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn’t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.“Don’t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “You don’t relax or laugh very much; perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, arid speak freely. You’re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll fly very high. Good night.”1.At the beginning Miss Eyre’s impressions of Mr. Rochester were all EXCEPT （）.2.In “...all my knowledge of him was limit to occasional meetings about the house...’’, the word “about” means （）. 3.Why did Mr. Rochester say "...and then you stab me in the back!”？（7th Para）4.From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyer, we can conclude that he wanted to （）. 5.At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sound（）.

I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for “full of years” as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believed that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation that would have turned out better. After all, how could have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.1.What is said about the two deceased elderly woman?2.The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because （）.3.People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because （）. 4.In the context of the passage, “...the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para. 4) probably means that （）. 5.People have been made to believe since infancy that（）.

In 1896, William Jennings Bryan, a three-time candidate for the American presidency, gave a speech on a relatively dry financial topic, criticizing the gold standard. But his rhetoric was for the ages: “You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross gold!”Just over a hundred years later Sam Brownback, arguing for war against Iraq in a speech to the American Senate, said, “We go at Iraq and it says to countries that support terrorists, there remain six in the world that are as our definition state sponsors of terrorists, you say to those countries: 4 We are serious about terrorism, we are serious about you not supporting terrorism on your own soil.”’What happened over the 20lh century? Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in oratory or in writing, to command the English language with skill and flair. Nor so they aspire to such command themselves. John McWhorter, a linguist, sees the triumph of 1960s counterculture as responsible for the decline of formal English.Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another passage against the decline in education. Mr. McWhorter’s academic specialty is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of “whom”，for example, to be natural and no more lamentable than the loss of the case-endings of Bcowulf-ear English.But the cult of the authentic and the personal, “doing our own thing”，has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal genre is the only form that could claim real vibrancy. In both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft.Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend than Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no radical education reforms — he is really bemoaning the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English “on paper plates instead of china”. A shame, perhaps, but, probably an inevitable.1.The sentences of William and Sam are quoted in the first two paragraphs to show （）.2.John McWhorter attributes the decline of formal English to （）. 3.John McWhorter’s attitude towards the loss “whom” seems to be （）. 4.It can be inferred from the passage that （）. 5.By “we now take our English ‘on paper plate’ instead of china”，the linguist most probably means that （）.
