She wants to ________ her trailer to your car.

He’s very sluggish and apathetic. You might say he’s ________.

His room is a terrible mess; He’s very ________.

Living in an increasingly complex society, we face various kinds of crises. Some people view crises as opportunities and encourage themselves to confront them, others have negative attitudes towards them. Now you are supposed to write an essay in no fewer than 300 words to your opinion on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.

Directions: Translate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the answer sheet. (10%)To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say, “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at weekend.It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential.

Directions: Translate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on the answer sheet. (10%)爱灯不仅是为了驱除黑暗，不只是由于光的照明作用，还在于观看灯下的缤纷人生。七十年代初，我流放的小山村尚未建立发电站，入夜只能生活在黑暗里。荒山寒夜，为节省灯油的山民们很早入眠，唯独我们这一户外来的人家还亮着小油灯。山居生活寂寞单调，冬夜僵冷的黑暗也更是难堪。从小镇买来带有玻璃罩的油灯光芒是微弱的。为了获得更多的光亮，我试用废弃的瓶瓶罐罐制作了许多形态不一的小油灯。每盏小油灯都绽开一朵火花，奉献小小的光亮。微弱的光也能划破黑暗，对沉沉的黑夜是一种无言的反抗。即使熄灭了，它也燃烧过。何况还能再一次点燃，继续以它怯弱而又勇敢的火光向黑夜挑战。我满心喜悦地观赏着我自己手下诞生的一点光明。在长夜漫漫的动乱岁月里，它燃起了我精神上的火焰。

Directions: You are going to read a magazine article about theme parks in Britain. For questions 34-40, choose from the theme parks (A-E). The theme parks may be chosen more than once. There is an example at the beginning (0).Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet.Of which theme parks are the following stated?We had no previous experience of places like this. (0) B The children were all young enough to enjoy it. (1)（）It was good that you could find somewhere to rest. (2)（）It was more enjoyable than we had expected. (3)（）The children disagreed about what was the most frightening ride. (4)（）The surroundings are not particularly attractive. (5)（）We didn’t mind having to wait to go on the rides. (6)（）One of the rides seemed to finish very quickly. (7)（）Variations on a ThemeIf you’re thinking of taking children to a theme park, there are dozens to choose from in Britain. We asked five families to test the best.A. Fun IslandJan and Steve Burns took daughter Samantha, 3, and her cousins Gary, 8, and Jemma, 10.Last year we went to a huge theme park in the US and we thought that Fun Island might seem dull by comparison. In fact, we were impressed. The park tries hard to cater for younger children, so our three-year-old didn’t feel left out. The kids all loved the Crocodile Ride and the Giant Wheel. There’s a special dodgems ride for the very young kids, which was a great success. For older children, there are scarier rides, such as Splash Out, where you end up jumping in a pool! After five hours, Steve and I were ready to call it a day, but the children objected because they were having such fun. Our only criticism would be that the park is slightly lacking in atmosphere, and the scenery laves something to be desired. But the staff are extremely helpful and we felt it was clean, well-organized and very security-conscious.B. WonderlandMaria McMillan and her friend Frances took Oscar, 18 months, Ellie, 4, Alex, 5, and Alexander, 6.None of us had been to a theme park before, so we didn’t know what to expect. We thought Oscar might be too young, but he adored it. He was in heaven on the Mountain Train, and particularly liked Little Land, with its small replicas of famous buildings that were at his level! The older children enjoyed the ferris wheel, and loved driving the toy cars on a proper road layout. We spent six hours there and were glad that there were places where you could put your feet up. The landscaping is perfect and the staff very helpful and friendly. And there’s something for everyone, adults included.C. Adventure WorldTim Jeffree and his wife Clare took Timothy, 3, Olivia, 7, and Emma, 9.After seven hours we felt there was still a lot to see. This is an enormous theme park, extremely well run and full of good rides. The children love the Big Top Circus, which had a fantastic Trapeze act and kept us on the edge of our seats. We went on the Terror Line and, although the girls were rather scared and kept their eyes shut most of the time, they said they’d enjoyed it. Their favorite ride was Running River where you think you are going to get soaked, but you don’t. For younger children, Toy Land is great fun. The children had a look at the new ride, Fear Factor, but we breathed a sigh of relief when they found that they were too small to go on it! The park is so well designed that even queuing for rides isn’t too boring. It’s spotlessly clean, and the staff are great. On one ride I couldn’t sit with both girls, so a member of staff offered to go with one of them.D. The Great ParkJenny Langridge and her friend Linda took Ben, 6, James, 9, and Sophie, 12.We arrived at one o’clock and were disappointed that the park was only open until 5 p.m. This is a super theme park for younger children because the rides aren’t too terrifying. I’m a real coward but even I enjoyed myself. We all adored Exotic Travels, a boat ride which starts off quite tamely and then becomes terrific fun. We queued for half an hour for Lightning River, and then it was over before we knew it! I wouldn’t go on the Big Leap, but if you have the nerve, it looked great. There are lots of enjoyable boat and train trips around the park and I felt all the attractions were very safe and well controlled. If the children had been a little older, they might have found it a bit tame, but they were all in the right age group and they loved it.E. Fantasy WorldBill Breakall and his wife Ruth took Sarah, 10, Tom, 13, Jennie, 15, and Ben, 19.According to the park’s advertising there is “No Limit to the Fun”, and we certainly felt that was true. Europe’s tallest roller-coaster, the Rocket, dominates the skyline, and Ben thought it was the most terrifying of the rides, although Jennie said the Hanger, where you hang upside-down 30 meters above the ground, was even worse! There are a dozen or so main rides, which the older children went on several times. Sarah was too small for a couple of them, but enjoyed the Long Slide. Tom loved the zoo and wildlife park. The park is clean and has good parking facilities. We found the staff attitudes were mixed. Some of them were great with the younger children, but the welcome wasn’t always as warm. You need a full day to enjoy Fantasy World. We wouldn’t have dared tell the kids we were going home early.

Astrophysicists studying the structure of the universe have found new evidence for something they were beginning to suspect with increasing conviction in recent years—the existence of a mysterious, repulsive force that appears to be accelerating the expansion of the universe. Astronomers have given this hypothetical new force an intriguing name. They have labeled it the “dark force”, in all likelihood because it has remained hidden from observation until now. For that matter, it still remains hidden to direct detection.That the universe was expanding has been known for many decades. But, with one notable and famously reluctant exception, it occurred to no one until much more recently that the expansion might, instead of being slowed by the mutual gravitational attraction of all the matter the universe contains, actually be accelerating. This unexpected revelation was made possible in part by the release of a detailed map of the cosmological microwave background made by a satellite called the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. Researchers compared that data with the position of millions of galaxies already charted by another project—the ongoing Sloan Digital Sky Survey, an ambitious long-term effort to map every detectable object in a very large section of the sky.By combining and analyzing these two astronomical databases, it was possible to detect something for which it is difficult to devise, an appropriately descriptive analogy, but which is being referred to as a king of shadow thrown by the dark energy against the backdrop of the cosmic microwave radiation—the remnants of the energy left by the Big Bang that sill permeate the universe. Even calling it a shadow is a woefully inappropriate and actually quite misleading description because what astronomers are detecting is in fact more luminous than its surroundings.The availability of the two databases allowed comparison of the energy of photons that passed through regions of space that were crowded with galaxies with, that of photons that encountered mostly empty space on their-journey toward earth. Hence this new evidence is derived from the physical processes that act on light particles—photons—as they travel through galaxies. Contrary to what would be expected in the absence of some kind of repulsive force, the study revealed that the radiation actually gains energy as it passes through the gravitational fields of galaxies. Without the repulsive or dark force to reenergize the radiation, it should emerge from the galaxies with essentially the same amount of energy it entered with; having been energized while moving toward the galaxy and de-energized by an equal amount while moving away.In the presence of the repulsive force the galaxy is actually inflated during the very long period it takes for a photon to pass through it. As the galaxy becomes less dense, its gravity affects the photon to a lesser and lesser degree. Expressed another way, it can be said that the gravitational slope the particle climbs up on its way out isn’t quite as steep as the one it descended on its way in. The result is that the light particle has marginally more energy when it leaves. [A] The difference is minute; only about one part in a million. [B] Researchers had to scrutinize a huge data set to detect it. They had to examine photons traversing millions of galaxies to have a realistic chance of success. [C] But succeed, they did. [D] This was made possible by sheer diligence and by the enormous scope of the information gathered by the Sloan Sky Survey.While it is true that the contention something is driving the universe apart, has been gaining credibility only since astronomers began making the measurements that first indicated the expansion of the universe was speeding up, it should not be concluded from this that the concept is a new one. No less a visionary than Albert Einstein theorized about a force that would add energy to the expansion of the universe; a force which he referred to as the cosmological constant. But to him it was nothing more than a mathematical construct he was forced to include in his equations out of necessity. It was not an idea he ever enthusiastically embraced or believed had any parallel in the physical world. In fact, he frequently referred to it as his greatest mistake. Now, it seems the great theoretician might have been right even when he was most convinced he was wrong.1. The word conviction in the passage is closest in meaning to（）.2.

Concern for the environment in the US extends back into the nineteenth century, when nature lovers and sports enthusiasts first sought protection for areas of natural beauty or significance. But it was not until the late 1960s that environmental concerns entered the mainstream of American political debate. By then many Americans had come to the conclusion that more development was not necessarily desirable, especially if it meant more polluted air, dying lakes and rivers, and a landscape strewn with unsightly waste, and crowded with sprawling construction projects. In May of 1970, several environmental groups staged the first Earth Day celebration, designed to heighten public awareness of environmental problems. The success of that initial effort led to it becoming a regular annual event.During the 1950s and 1960s, industrial and vehicle pollution levels had become a serious threat to public health, so the environmental movement of this period focused heavily on restoring and ensuring the cleanliness of basic air and water supplies. Rapidly expanding development pressures were also spurring efforts to preserve unique lands and threatened wildlife habitats and to protect the endangered species supported by them before they vanished into extinction. It is generally accepted that the environmental protection movement was so successful because of its grassroots support, groups of activists in hundreds of towns that took the initiative in cleaning up their own communities. During the 1970s, this local activism reinforced support for the passage of key laws at the national level, such as the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Environmental Policy Act, which together have constituted the foundation for environmental standards in the US ever since.In addition to this national legislation, the year after the first Earth Day, by executive order, President Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); an organization dedicated to restoring and protecting the environment. [A] The EPA spearheaded many contemporary efforts to protect the environment, but it was not working alone. [B] It was allied with a wide variety of distinctly different and separate organizations to many thousands of smaller special Interest groups and even individuals working at the local level. [C] The EPA has now become one of the government’s largest and most influential regulatory agencies. Through its own efforts and in cooperation with other organizations, it has earned a large measure of credit for protecting and restoring the quality of the environment in the United States. [D]Although one might assume that the cause of environment protection would engender universal support, it does have its detractors. One criticism that has been leveled against the movement is the claim that its predictions about the dire consequences of environmental damage have often been in error. Environmentalists counter this assertion by pointing out that their warnings have often brought about changes on the part of the public, the government and private industry, and that these changes prevented the predictions from being realized. However, just as it is often very difficult to gauge the impact of human activity on something as complex as the environment. It is equally difficult to determine which side is right in this debate. Because environmental issues cover such a wide range of concerns, this is a question that must be considered on a case by case basis. These voices of dissent have demonstrated to environmentalists the need to apply quantitative methods in assessing the extent of the destruction they have witnessed, or the degree to which their work has been manifested in actual improvement of the environment.However vocal the critics of environmental protection efforts may be, given the very considerable body of environmental legislation that exists, it is safe to assume that their views do not represent the majority opinion. Private advocacy groups, the EPS, state legislatures and Congress have worked together to enact numerous laws regarding air and water quality, land use and waste management. That should be evidence enough of the broad extent of the popular support that underlies the movement.1. On which of the following does the passage mainly focus?2. According to paragraph 2, why was the environmental protection movement so widely successful?3. According to paragraph 3, which of the following accurately describes how the EPA helped the environmental movement?4. According to paragraph 4, what was a common criticism of the environmental movement?5. According to the passage, what effect did the criticism of the environmental movement have?6. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the italicized sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.7. The word dire in the passage is closest in meaning to（）.8. Look at the four squares marked A, B, C, and D that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.Thanks to the additional help of environmentally conscious political figures in the mold of Teddy Roosevelt, who nearly a century before established the first national parks in the USA, the movement gained momentum.Where would the following most likely fit in the passage (A, B, C, or D)?9. The word dissent in the passage is closest in meaning to（）.

This is WPC Sue Porter’s third year as a member of Avon and Somerset’s task force, a specialized “hit-squad” providing support for her colleagues. Her job is physically and mentally taxing. From disarming a knife attacker to bringing round the victim of a car crash she is expected to perform as well as the boys.Her 119 male colleagues in the squad would doubtless recognize that the words “task force” are usually associated with males. To try to remedy this the unit was renamed “support team” on January 1. Porter, 26, is one of three women working in it. “I’m not out to prove something because I’m a woman. I’m out to be me. They can’t expect any more from me and if they do they’re going to be disappointed,” she says.Porter is less than 5ft 5in tall and weighs about nine stone. In a fight she says her colleagues would probably feel better with a 6ft well-built man behind them. “If I know we are going where things are going to be difficult I offer to drive. The driver always stays with the van. But no-one else would ever ask me to drive, and often we don’t have time to prepare and it’s the ones in the back who get out and deal with it.” Last year, “dealing with it” included having building blocks and bricks thrown at them in several protests and riots.Porter says the violence is there, no matter what sex you are. “Being a woman makes little difference. Sometimes people tell you that you shouldn’t be in this job, but that’s usually their way of explaining why they’ve hit you. But sometimes a couple of men will react better to a woman telling them to calm down: they see a big man as a good opportunity to fight.”At the station Porter books in her struggling prisoner. He has no home address and is unemployed. He does not like being arrested by a woman and keeps swearing at her. “I’ll see you in court,” he shouts as he is dragged to a cell.Porter looks on without emotion. It is 3:30 am and there is still the paperwork to do. The team will reassemble at 7:30 pm to prepare for Arsenal fans coming in to a sleepy Yeovil for an FA cup match. It could be a busy night.1. What does “taxing”, in the third line, mean?2. Why didn’t the men on the squad ask her to drive?3. What do we learn about the people in protests and riots?4. Why did some people say she shouldn’t be on the hit-squad?5. How did the prisoner react to her arresting him?6. How did she feel about her prisoner?7. What would be the most suitable title for this article?
