Section A

Directions：There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A），B），C）andD）.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：

Alcohol Concern describes itself as the national agency on“alcohol misuse”. Among its aims it lists“encouraging debate on the wide range of public policy issues affected by alcohol”.Well, it certainly managed that yesterday with its recommendation that parents should be accused if they allow their children to drink alcohol at home before they reach 15 years of age.

There was no time for anyone to digest the news before the predictable bad reputation descended on the authors. There were those who complained about the state trying control yet another area of family life：an attack on those parents who sensibly tried to accustom their children to moderate drinking before they could be tempted to binge（饮酒作乐）.

Then there were those who sang high praise for Continental café culture, where teenagers seem content to drink a single glass of wine all evening, before returning home in complete sobriety（清醒）.It was, they argued, our very British preoccupation（迷恋）with alcohol, that led so many young people to over-drinking.

And finally there were the other lobby（游说）groups, representing the drinks industry, which insisted that accusing parents would not solve the problem.The young drinkers who drank alcohol from noon to night were largely out of control, gathering in parks and to consume alcohol they had obtained who knows where.

Few can doubt that Britain has a problem with young people and alcohol. If even some of the figures produced by Alcohol Concern yesterday are correct, far worse is to come.Drinking by 11-to 13-year-olds has soared in the past five years.

To give Alcohol Concern its due, it called for much attention to this problem. But as so often with lobbyists, the sensible elements were drowned out by the desire to grab attention.Themore reasonable message was lost.

31.Alcohol Concern is a British organization that__________.

A）represents the interests of the drinks industry

B）involves itself in alcohol abuse

C）takes charge of alcohol-related policies

D）aims to protect the rights of British youngsters

32.Some people are against the recommendation of Alcohol Concern because they think that__________.

A）drinking is part of British unique culture

B）it goes against British people’s civil rights

C）implementing it throughout the nation is impossible

D）the government is interfering with family life

33.According to the passage, what contributed to young people’s indulging in excessivedrinking？

A）The availability of alcohol.

B）Britain’s fascinating café culture.

C）British preoccupation with alcohol.

D）The family influence.

34.Which of the following does the author think is the biggest trouble？

A）Children are too spoiled in Britain.

B）Young drinkers are largely out of control.

C）Drinkers addicted to alcohol are getting younger.

D）Nothing can be done to stop the current trend.

35.What is the author’s overall attitude towards Alcohol Concern？

A）Critical.

B）Warning.

C）Positive.

D）Biased.

Passage 2

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：

Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed.They decided to call him Superman instead.

In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities（名人）to give their children wacky names.In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like一the only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words.

Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in The Lord of the Rings.Equally, names relating to sport are fairly common一since 1984，36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.

Other parents like to make up names, or combine names to make their own unique version, a method demonstrated by Jordan, the British model, who recently invented the name Tiàamii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy（the two grandmothers）.She was quoted as saying that the accent and double letters were added to make the name“more exotic（奇异的）”.

Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose.In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child—no foreign letters or symbols are allowed.As a result a couple were recently banned from calling their baby@.

In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the wacky ones.The top names are fairly traditional一Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.

36.Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph？

A）Traditional names are losing their popularity in New Zealand.

B）New Zealand has very strict restrictions on name-giving.

C）Parents were more interested in popular names in movies.

D）Names beginning with a number are unacceptable by rule.

37.The word“wacky”（Line 2，Para.2）is closest in meaning to“__________”.

A）humorous

B）odd

C）traditional

D）popular

38.Which of the following names may be forbidden in England？

A）Maisie.

B）Gandalf.

C）@Dotcom.

D）Damn.

39.What rule do Danish parents obey in naming their children？

A）Selecting a name from a standard list.

B）Making up names by themselves.

C）Choosing names from popular culture.

D）Naming their children after characters in literary works.

40.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

A）Names in Popular Culture.

B）Causes of Exotic Names.

C）Unusual Names.

D）The Importance of Names.

Passage 3

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage：

The Internet has become an indispensable part of life for many children and young people nowadays. Yet risks abound.Children must be protected from dangerous content, whether it’s pornography（色情描写）or descriptions of violence, says Axel Kossel from the Hanover-based c’t magazine.Software is capable of handling a portion of that effort.But ultimately parents needto be involved.

Parents with limited Internet experience may be tempted to simply ban their children from using the Internet altogether. Neither educators nor online security experts consider this a good solution.It is important and proper to provide children with a chance to gain experience in working with media by using the Internet.

The objective is to prevent the child from viewing unsuitable content. One option is programs like SafetyKid that work with so-called white lists.These allow children to enter only the addresses for pages that they are clearly permitted to use, Kossel explains.This shielding tactic（策略）is only suitable for very young children.

Programs built around blacklists sniff out violent or pornographic sites and block them. Although the lists are constantly updated, they still have weaknesses.“They can’t block everything, since thousands of new sites appear every day，”Kossel says.

There is also free parental control software available on the Internet. However, no program works absolutely reliably, Axel Kossel says.To some extent that is because many children are more experienced about the Internet than their parents.That allows them to find relatively easy ways around the software barriers.

“You shouldn’t rely on software alone，”Matthias Gaertner from the BSI confirms as well. The experts instead recommend setting up a“family PC”where everyone can surf together.

41.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？

A）Parents with limited Internet experience may stop their children from watching programsor DVDs on a computer.

B）Educators and online security experts think that preventing children from using the Internetis a good solution.

C）Parental control software is so expensive that most families can’t afford it.

D）Programs can’t block all violent and pornographic content due to the appearance of newsites every day.

42.The phrase“sniff out”（Line 1，Para.4）is closest in meaning to“__________”.

A）find out

B）figure out

C）log out

D）get rid of

43.It is implied in Para.5 that__________.

A）parents often ask their children for advice on how to use computer

B）children often find it easy to filter out important data on the Internet

C）children may prefer to use programs like SafetyKid

D）many children have more knowledge about the Internet than their parents

44.The objective of setting up“family PC”is to__________.

A）ban their children from using the Internet

B）allow parents to monitor what websites their children are visiting

C）keep programs built around blacklists constantly updated

D）make it easier to install software

45.Which of the following is the best title for this passage？

A）Internet Everywhere.

B）Internet Safety Is a Top Priority.

C）No Chance for Bad Sites：Parental Control Software.

D）The Importance of SafetyKid Program.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was from a wealthy, well-known family.As a child, he attended private school, had private tutors, and traveled with his parents to Europe.He attended Harvard University, and afterward studied law.At age 39 Roosevelt suddenly developed polio（脊髓灰质炎），a disease that left him without the full use of his legs for the rest of his life.Even through the worst of his illness, however, he continued his life in politics.In 1924 he appeared at the Democratic National Convention to nominate（提名）Al Smith for president, and eight years after that he himself was nominated for the same office.Roosevelt was elected to the presidency during the Great Depression of the 1930s, at a time when more than 5，000 banks had failed and thousands of people were out of work.Roosevelt took action.First he declared a bank holiday that closed all the banks so that no more could fail；then he reopened the banks little by little with government support.Roosevelt believed in using the full power of government to help what he called the“forgotten people”.And it was these workers, the wage earners who felt the strongest liking towards Roosevelt.There were others, however, who felt that Roosevelt’s policies were destroying the American system of government, and they opposed him in the same intense way that others admired him.

In 1940 the Democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented（史无前例的）third term.No president in American history had ever served three terms, but Roosevelt felt an obligation not to quit while the United States’entry into World War II was looming in the future.He accepted the nomination and went on to an easy victory.

Section A

Passage 1

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：

What comes to mind when you think of tap dancing？You might picture a black-and-white movie with a performer dressed in a tuxedo（礼服）.Tap dancing might not seem like something popular and modern.If that is how you picture tap, then you have never seen Savion Glover dance！This choreographer（编舞者），dancer, director, and producer has changed the way people think about tap dancing today.

Savion Glover was born in New Jersey in 1973. He showed a talent for drumming when he was only four years old, so he began going to school at the Newark Community School of the Arts.By the time he was seven, he had begun taking rhythm tap classes at the Broadway Dance Center in New York.Rhythm tap is a special kind of dance that uses all the parts of the feet to create sounds.

Passage 2

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：

Imagine you go to the beach and find a sign：“Water Polluted—No Swimming Allowed.”That’s what happened to actor Ted Danson in 1984. The experience changed his life.Worried that his daughters（then aged 5 and 10）couldn’t plunge into the ocean the way he had as a teen, Danson founded the American Oceans Campaign, an organization aimed at protecting Earth’s oceans and coastal waters.“Our oceans feed the world, cool our planet, regulate climate, and create nearly one-half of the global oxygen supply，”Danson says. He’s not joking.Fish are the main source of dietary protein for nearly 1 billion people—most of them in developing nations.Oceans absorb and radiate the Sun’s heat to help keep Earth’s temperature in balance.Microscopic plants（微生物）that live on the ocean’s surface take in carbon dioxide to make food—and the precious oxygen we need to breathe.“Yet each day, billions of gallons of sewage（污水），pesticides（杀虫剂，农药），and industrial chemicals flow into the sea，”Danson says.According to a United Nations report on the marine environment, about 80 percent of all marine pollution comes from human activities（like farming and driving）on land.Even if you live hundreds of miles from the nearest seashore, Danson adds, each day, Earth’s atmosphere recycles billions of kiloliters of salty seawater and turns it into fresh water.Ocean water evaporates（蒸发）and rises into the atmosphere.There it condenses and falls to Earth as rain or snow.This fresh water collects in rivers, streams, andlakes or goes deep into the earth.These are the main sources of our drinking water.

Human activities—like mining, forest clearing, farming, and manufacturing—pollute these freshwater sources, too. But it’s not too late to turn the tide, Danson says.You can help by conserving water and working to keep it clean.

36.What made Danson decide to establish the American Oceans Campaign？

A）His daughters’keen interest in swimming.

B）His rich knowledge about the oceanic science.

C）His experience in being forbidden to swim in the ocean.

D）The role he played in a movie about the ocean.

37.According to the passage, oxygen is produced__________.

A）by absorbing and radiating the Sun’s heat

C）become heavy

D）reduce

39.Which of the following is responsible for the pollution of drinking water？

Passage 3

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage：

Few places in the world are more mysterious than Easter Island, located in the Pacific Ocean 2，300 miles from the coast of Chile. Easter Island has 64 square miles of rugged coastline and steep hills.Scientists believe that island began as a volcano.Three extinct volcanoes remain on the island.The largest one rises 1，400 feet high.

On Easter Sunday of 1722，Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen and his crew landed on Easter Island aboard the Dutch ship Arena. The astonished crew found dozens of huge stone figures standing on long stone platforms.The statues, some measuring 40 feet tall, were similar in appearance.Their expressionless faces were without eyes.Huge red cylinders（圆柱体）were placed on their heads.Since that time, the island has been a source of mystery to scientists and explorers.

Archaeologists（考古学家）believe that three different cultures lived on Easter Island.About 400 A.D.，the island was inhabited by a group of people who specialized in making small stone statues.

Years later, another civilization tore down these statues and used them to build long temple platforms called ahus. These people carved more than 600 enormous stone busts（半身像）of human forms and placed them on the ahus.Some ahus still hold up to 15 statues.

Scientists believe that the statues were carved from hard volcanic rock. The statues were made with stone picks made of basalt（玄武岩）.Although the statues weigh many tons each, it is believed that they were moved with ropes and rollers across the island and placed on the ahus.This may be the reason for one island legend about the statues“walking”to their site.

About 1670，another group of people invaded the island. These invaders practiced cannibalism（问类相食）.During this time, many people began living in underground caves where they hid their treasures.

Today, Easter Island is governed by Chile, a country of South America. Almost the entire population of 2，000 people lives in the small village of Hanga Roa on the west coast of the island.

41.The author believes that Easter Island__________.

A）is not a real place

B）is not worth scientific study

C）is the result of cannibalism

D）is fascinating to study

42.How did Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen and his crew feel at the sight of huge stonefigures？

A）Amazed.

B）Excited.

C）Indifferent.

D）Frightened.

43.When did Easter Island begin to attract explorers？

A）About 400 A. D.B）About 1670.

C）About 600 A. D.

D）About 1722.

44.According to the author, which of the following is true about ahus？

A）People who lived in underground caves built the ahus.

B）The ahus was carved with stone picks.

C）There is no such thing as ahus.

D）The ahus was a place on which statues were placed.

45.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is most likely to__________.

A）persuade readers to visit Easter Island

B）inform readers about a trip to Easter Island

C）explain why Easter Island is a source of mystery

D）report the latest scientific findings about Easter Island

On the campus, particularly where classes are small, I found a strange informality（不拘礼节，随意）that characterized the relationship between students and their professors.While many students do call their professors“Professor”so-and-so or“Dr.”so-and-so, some professors 46 to be called familiarly by their first names.And in the 47 of informality, many professors may invite students to their homes or can be seen chatting with students over a meal or a cup of coffee in the school cafeteria.A good number of instructors even request that students fill out class evaluation forms which 48 the content and presentation of the course.

Some teachers are more dogmatic（武断的）than others, but it is worth nothing that it is often the 49that teachers encourage students to question, debate and even 50 their statements.

Section A

Passage 1

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：

Effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging. Cultures provide people with ways of thinking—ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world.Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they speak the“same”language.When the languages are different, and translation has to be used to communicate, the potential for misunderstandings increases.

Stella Ting-Toomey describes three ways in which culture interferes with effective cross-cultural understanding. First is what she calls“cognitive constrains（认知约束）”.These are the frames of reference or world views that provide a background that all new information is compared to or inserted into.

Second are“behavior constraints”. Each culture has its own rules about proper behavior which affect verbal（用言辞的）and nonverbal communication.Whether one looks the other person in the eye or not；whether one says what one means openly or talks around the issue；how close people stand to each other when they are talking—all of these and many more are rules of politeness which differ from culture to culture.

Ting-Toomey’s third factor is“emotional constraints”. Different cultures regulate the display of emotion differently.Some cultures get very emotional when they are debating an issue.They shout, they cry, they exhibit their anger, fear, and other feelings openly.Other cultures, on the other hand, try to keep their emotions hidden.

All of these differences tend to lead to communication problems. If the people involved are not aware of the potential for such problems, they are even more likely to fall victim to them, although it takes more than awareness to overcome these problems and communicate effectively across cultures.

31.What poses challenges for effective communication？

A）Cultural differences.

B）Language differences.

C）Words with different meaning.

D）Unsuccessful interpretation and translation.

32.The expression“frames of reference”（Line 3，Para.2）most probably refers to__________.

A）the sum total of old and new information

B）the main ideas and facts that something is based on

C）knowledge and beliefs that influence the way one thinks

D）some reference materials that one can look up when necessary

33.With regard to“behavior constraints”，Stella Ting-Toomey means that__________.

A）rules about proper behavior vary from culture to culture

B）people should try to be straightforward when communicating

C）eye contact is very important in interpersonal communication

D）proper distance should always be kept in mind when communicating

34.When debating an issue，__________.

A）people get angry easily

B）people tend to get over-excited

C）people may show their feelings differently

D）people should try to hide their true feelings

35.According to the last paragraph, to overcome communication problems, people should__________.

A）show more understanding of other cultures

B）learn the strategy of effective communication

C）be involved in communication as much as possible

D）be aware of the potential danger of such problems

Passage 2

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：

Whenever I find myself banking on future good fortune, I tend to think，“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch（孵化）。”

Germans express the same idea like this，“You have to catch the hare（野兔）before you can roast him.”The French say：“You can’t sell the bear’s skin until you’ve caught him.”

Proverbs（谚语）abound in all languages.We use proverbs to make points more convincingly and more memorably than most of us could otherwise manage.We also use proverbs because they lend a measure of authority to our opinions, suggesting that what we are saying is simply common sense.

Yet proverbial wisdom can be contradictory. We warn the cautious against hesitation with“He who hesitates is lost，”but we also warn the bold，“Look before you leap.”We may say that“Absence makes the heart grow fonder，”but we also say，“Out of sight, out of mind.”

“Proverbs are not universal truths，”says Wolfgang Mieder, professor of German at the University of Vermont.“Proverbs represent life；therefore, there will be contradictory proverbs.”

I admit, however, to having once spent several uncomfortable minutes in Japan after having come out with“The child of a frog is a frog，”the Japanese version of“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”—only to be met with blank, uncomprehending stares. It seems that the Japanese word for“frog”sounds much like the Japanese verb“to return”.My hosts must have thought that I was saying something like The Return of Frog-Boy.

When people at the table finally grasped what I was trying to say, they burst into laughter. It gave me a perfect opening for“Fall down seven times, get up eight.”That’s the Japanese version of“If at first you don’t succeed……try, try again.”

36.What does the phrase“bank on”（Line 1，Para.1）probably mean？

A）To invest.

B）To look for.

C）To depend on.

D）To work hard.

37.According to the passage, which of the following is a reason why people use proverbs？

A）Proverbs are easy to memorize.

B）Proverbs are about popular wisdom.

C）Proverbs can be found in all languages. D）Proverbs make conversations interesting.38.The two pairs of proverbs in Para.4 are used to illustrate that________.

A）proverbs should be used cautiously

B）proverbs can express opposite ideas

C）proverbs can sometimes be misleading D）proverbs are created by ordinary people 39. Why did the author’s attempt at using a proverb fail？

A）Because he misunderstood the proverb.

B）Because his Japanese friends lacked humor.

C）Because he mispronounced a Japanese word.

D）Because his Japanese friends didn’t like proverbs.

40.What does the proverb“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”（Para.6）mean？

A）Never give up in the face of difficulty.

B）Never assume that you’re going to be lucky.

C）When you miss someone, you love him or her more.

D）A child often grows up to be very similar to his or her parents.

Passage 3

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage：

The term“culture shock”was originally coined to explain the intense experiences of people who found themselves on overseas assignments in roles such as diplomats（外交官），international students, technical assistance advisors, or businesspeople.Over the last thirty years, the term has expanded to include other types of experiences people have when they move across cultural boundaries within any one country.Occasionally, culture shock is used to explain reactions to the new and the unfamiliar.Examples include going away to college, getting married, or being forced to go on welfare after years of productive employment.

The complaints people have when experiencing culture shock are very similar, whether they are international students, overseas businesspeople, or members of an underrepresented ethnic group. Such individuals experience a sense of frustration（沮丧）and helplessness at their inability to meet their everyday needs.They feel lonely and find it hard to meet people and to develop international relationships.Victims of culture shock often become suspicious of others and come to believe that others are“out to get them”.People also report a predictable set of physical symptoms.They complain of stomachaches, inability to sleep, headaches, generalfeelings of tiredness, mild depression, and a lack of enthusiasm for life.

Many organizations now sponsor（赞助）programs to help prepare people for life’s transitions（转折）.Most commonly called“cross-cultural training programs”，one of the goals of such programs is to introduce people to various experiences they are likely to encounter.During the programs, participants are commonly told that the experiences associated with“culture shock”are normal and are to be expected.Knowledge of what culture shock is, how frequently it is experienced, and effective coping strategies can aid in reducing people’s stress.

41.Who were the victims of culture shock when the term was first created？

A）The newly-weds.

B）College freshmen.

C）People who were sent overseas.

D）People newly recruited in the military.

42.When do people suffer from culture shock？

A）When they are forced to leave their original jobs.

B）When they have to move from one place to another.

C）When they express their complaints about something.

D）When they have to deal with something new and unfamiliar.

43.Which of the following is true of people suffering from culture shock？

A）They don’t trust others.

B）They can’t live by themselves.

C）They don’t want to meet people.

D）They will have mental disorder.

44.What is the aim of“cross-cultural training programs”？

A）To help people behave normally.

B）To reduce people’s stress from life.

C）To prepare people for culture shock.

D）To share experiences of culture shock.

45.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

A）Culture Shock.

B）Cross-cultural Training.

C）Experiencing Culture Shock.

D）Symptoms of Culture Shock.

The blues are calling, Manila. Are you listening？

There’s a worldwide blues explosion going on. In the US, birthplace of the blues, the number of music lounges（雅座酒吧）devoted to blues has grown over 50 percent since 1990 to 1，360，according to Fortune magazine.Among the most notable additions are the House of Blues, established by the legendary（传奇式的）creator of the Hard Rock Café，and Fleetwood’s, set up by the Fleetwood Mac drummer.

If anything, the blues are even more popular in Europe. Many US blues musicians have lived there at some time or another.Europeans consider the blues a serious art form and treat these old-time bluesmen with great respect.Seventy percent of blues record sales worldwide, rather surprisingly, take place in Europe.The best selling blues album（密纹唱片）in the world right now is From the Cradle by English superstar Eric Clapton, who with this album pays respect to the inspiration of his music all these years.

The blues have even surrounded the Philippines. Japan and Australia have flourishing（蒸蒸日上的）blues scenes, with many well-established local players and frequent concerts by visiting blues legend.

While the explosion is booming worldwide, in Manila it’s more like a firecracker（鞭炮）pop.But things are changing.There’s sudden interest, scattered at the moment, but definite, cracking through Manila.

Of all the countries, the Philippines should be listening carefully to the blues. Many of the conditions that faced the US bluesmen and gave birth to the blues, from the early days in the Southern cotton fields to the urban slums（贫民窟）of today, bear surprising similarities to conditions here in the Philippines.

Passage 2

Most Americans don’t like to get advice from the members of their family. When they need advice, they don’t usually ask people they know.Instead many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many different subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car.

Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters there are answers written by people who are supposed to know how to solve such problems.Some of these writers are doctors；others are lawyers or educators.But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for these kinds of work.One of them answers letters addressed as“Dear Abby”.The other is addressed as“Dear Ann Landers”.Experience is their preparation for giving advice.There is one writer who hasn’t lived long enough to have much experience.She is a girl named Angel Cavaliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten.Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called DEAR ANGEL.

Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.

14.According to the passage, where do most Americans get advice？

15.What prepares Abby and Ann Landers for giving advice？

Passage 3

Located on the Seine River in the heart of Paris, the Louvre is the biggest art museum in the world. It has seven major areas, more than one hundred different rooms, and nearly 300，000 items in its collection.

The Louvre is made up of several different buildings that were added over many centuries. The very first section, built more than 800 years ago, was originally used as a castle to protect Paris from the Vikings.Within 100 years, King Charles V had turned one of the towers into a library.

Even though it was used by French royalty to store their many possessions, it was not turned into a palace until the 1500s. King Henry IV added a huge section, which made the Louvre one of the biggest buildings in the world at that time.But the Louvre was not done growing yet！By 1624，King Louis XIII expanded it to almost four times the size it had been.

Meanwhile, the royal family continued to collect more and more art, which they kept at the Louvre. This art was only to be seen by the kings and queens and the people they might invite to view it.After the French Revolution, the art in the Louvre was available for everyone to enjoy.The museum opened to the public for the first time on November 8，1793.

Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

17.Which of the following is true about the Louvre？

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch？Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can’t you be bothered to do？

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle that they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2，000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health. The results were astonishing.

About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of 654 respondents（回答者）with children，64%said they were often too tired to play with them.

This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as fat before they start school.

Dr. Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said：“People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”

“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic tasks.”

The results pose serious challenges for the National Health Service, where heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years.大学英语三级考试模拟试题（二）

Passage 1

A young college student was working hard in the upper-level math course, for fear that he would be unable to pass. On the night before the final, he studied so long that he overslept the morning of the test.When he ran into the classroom several minutes late, he found 3 equations written on the blackboard.The first 2 went rather easily, but the 3rd seemed impossible.He worked hard on it until—just 10 minutes short of the deadline—he found a method that worked；he finished the problems just as time was called.The student turned in his test paper and left.

That evening he received a phone call from his professor.“Do you realize what you did on the test today？”he shouted at the student.

“Oh, no，”thought the student.“I must have failed in the exam.”

“You were only supposed to do the first two problems，”the professor explained.“That last one was an example of an equation that mathematicians since Einstein have been trying to solvewithout success. I discussed it with the class before starting the test.And you just solved it！”

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

At the moment, the note of the highest value which is generally in use is the 20-pound note. Now, the Bank of England plans to introduce a new，50-pound note.And the Bank is trying to decide which famous English man or woman to put on the back of the new note.

Quite a problem. The Bank usually chooses safe, historical personalities.We already have Sir Isaac Newton, the scientist, the first duke of Wellington, the famous soldier who led the British army at Waterloo, Florence Nightingale, founder of English nursing and—of course—Shakespeare.So far, the list of possible choices for the 50-pound note is quite predictable.There’s Sir Francis Drake, to represent the achievements of English explorers in the sixteenth century.Then we have Lord Nelson, another sailor and the man who won the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 for England.Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the engineer, is also on the list because of the magnificent bridges which he built.The Bank will not forget music this time either—Sir Edward Elgar, one of our most famous composers of the nineteenth century is a possible choice.If they choose a woman, there are two choices：Boadicea, who fought against the Romans, or Pankhurst, who fought to get the vote for women early in the century.

My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron, N. C.，and set off for Baltimore to apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company.When asked what he wanted to do, he said，“Everything.”

He explained that his goal was to learn every job in the factory. He’d like to go to the department and find out what was done there.When the supervisor determined his work was as good as anyone else’s, he’d want to go to a different department and start over.The personnel people agreed to this unusual request, and by the time my father was 20，he’d made his way through the huge factory and was working in experimental design for a fantastic salary.

Whenever he went to a new department, he looked for the guys who would had been around forever. These were what new people usually avoided, afraid that next to them they’d look like the beginners they were.

My father asked them every question he could think of. They liked this young man and showed him simple ways they had developed that no one else had ever asked about.They became his teachers.Whatever your goals, plan to network with those who know more than you.Model your efforts on theirs, adjusting and improving as you go.

Section C

The wedding cake has been part of the feast since Roman times, and it stands for fertility and good fortune. By tradition, it should be made of the best ingredients and made from as rich a mixture as possible.A well-made cake is a sign of a well-formed marriage；a cake that splits or turns out otherwise may bring misfortune to the wedded pair.

No matter how great a cook the bride is, she must not make her own wedding cake lest she should be working hard all her life. Neither must she eat a bit of it prior to serving it on her wedding day.

The first slice must be cut by the bride lest the couple be childless. Nowadays it has become common for the husband to assist in the operation by laying his hand over hers while she is cutting.This“cutting together”approach is said to signify that the couple announces it will share all possessions.

A modern custom has appeared that the bride must feed the first bit of cake to her husband. This act is viewed as her symbolically offering herself up to him, inviting him to participate in all she has to offer.Sometimes the bride may playfully shove the cake bit at him in such a way as to get a daub of frosting on his nose.He is expected to handle this incident with grace and good humor.

All present at the wedding must have some of the cake. To refuse it is very unlucky, both for the wedded couple and the person doing the refusing.大学英语三级考试模拟试题（三）

Passage 1

Kenyan villagers have struggled for a long time with elephants wandering into their farmland. New research, however, shows that there may be a simple solution, and one which is kind to elephants.

Lucy King, a scientist who led this study by Save the Elephant group, says that nearly all the elephants exposed to a recording of bees immediately ran away. With the bees, they stopped what they were doing, turned to the speaker from where the buzzing was coming and turned their heads from side to side trying to locate the noise.Their long noses were raised high above their faces until one of them signaled a retreat and they all ran away.

Lucy King says angry residents in Kenya have been known to shoot at an elephant whenthey destroy their crops. Building electric fences wasn’t practical so her group decided to test a Kenyan folktale about bees to save the elephants instead.

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

11.What animal has been making trouble for Kenyan villagers for a long time？

12.Who is Lucy King？

13.What did elephants do when they were exposed to a recording of bees？

Passage 2

A recent report has shown that here in the United States, we’ve experienced an evolution concerning our attitudes towards the workweek and the weekend. Although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as Sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard Monday as the first day of the week with Saturday and Sunday making up the two-day period as the weekend.In fact the word“weekend”didn’t even exist in English until about the middle of 1800s.In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to be off from their jobs.This innovation became common in the United States in the 1920s, but as the workweek shortened during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the weekend expanded to two full days, Saturday and Sunday.Some people thought that this trend would continue due to the increasing automation and the workweek might decrease to four days or even fewer.But so far this has not happened.The workweek seems to have stabilized as forty hours made up of five eight-hour days.After this commercial I’ll be back to talk about the idea of adding Monday to the weekend.

Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.

14.According to the speaker, what is changing in the way people think about the week？

15.How has the amount of time people work changed from the early part of the 20th century？

16.What effect did some people think the increasing use of automation would have？

Passage 3

Queen Elizabeth II has had a very different life from most other people. As a girl she studied music and art and enjoyed drama and swimming, but she did not go to school with other children—instead she had special lessons at home.

The Queen does not have much direct contact with the media, and has never given an interview. However, people know some of the things she does when she is not performing her public duties—for example she likes watching horse racing, and she also enjoys photography.

Some interesting facts about the Queen were included in an official website celebrating her 80th birthday. For instance, as a queen, she has visited 129 countries and received more than 3 million letters and e-mails.

The Queen will probably stay a queen for the rest of her life. It is likely that the next king monarch will be her elder son, Prince Charles, but it could be her grandson Prince William, whois the son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana.

Although some British people would like their country to be a republic, most would agree that the Queen has worked hard and tried to serve her country as much as she can—that is probably why she is more popular than any prime minister in British history.

Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

17.In what way did the Queen lead a very different life when she was a little girl？

18.Which of the following does the Queen like doing？

19.How long can the Queen retain her title？

20.Why is the Queen more popular than any prime minister in British history？

Section C

Boxing Day is the following day after Christmas Day. Like Christmas Day it is also a national holiday in England.The name goes back to medieval times, more than 800 years ago, when wooden boxes were placed at the back of every church to collect money for the poor.Traditionally, it is on the day that the wooden box at every English church is opened and the contents are distributed to the poor.

Scholars say the holiday developed because servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with Christmas boxes.

During the late 18th century, Lords and Ladies would“box up”their leftover food, or sometimes gifts and distribute them the day after Christmas to people who lived and worked on their lands.

The tradition of giving money still continues today. It is customary for householders to give small gifts or tips to regular visiting trades people（the milkman, dustman, coalman, paper boy, etc.）and, in some work places, for employers to give Christmas gifts to employees.

Section A

Passage 1

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand一he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.

What visual artists like painter want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.

Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion（运动）and repose（休息），their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subject that provides an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.

If one painter chooses to paint a broken leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something一all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

31.According to the passage, an artist is always trying to__________.

A）express something new to us

B）make show of his unusual abilities

C）interest the public in shapes and colors

A）a painter only provides interesting patterns

B）a painter is not good at expressing himself

33.A painter carefully chooses certain shapes and colors as__________.

A）they can teach the public

B）they carry messages to the public

C）they express his feeling and experiences

D）they can express the painter’s feelings, carry messages and teach the public

34.Painting of unpleasant objects and paintings of beauty are__________.

A）painters are no good at writing

B）the public is more interested in writing than in painting

C）paintings are nothing more than the arrangement of shapes and colors

D）we should look beyond shapes and colors to understand what the artist is driving at

Passage 2

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：

“Family”is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of“family”in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life.The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband.He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home.Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone.Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.

Readers of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement—lead him to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parent’s home and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving her a sum of money called a dowry（嫁妆）.It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.This has two results.A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

36.What does the author mean by“family is of course an elastic word”？

A）Different nations have different families.

B）Different times produce different families.

C）Different families have different ways of life.

D）Different definitions could be given to the word“family”.

37.For an English family, the husband’s duty is__________.

A）independent while the wife’s is dependent

B）financial while the wife’s is running the home

C）supporting the family while the wife’s is financial

D）defending the family while the wife’s is running the home

38.Everything is decided in family__________.

A）by the couple

B）by brothers and sisters

C）with the help of the couple’s parents

D）with the help of aunts and uncles

39.Which of the following is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice？

A）It is a handbook of marriage.

B）It is the best book on marriage.

C）It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past.

D）It provides a lot of information on former-time wealthy families.

40.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in__________.

A）social position

B）the right family

C）choosing husbands

D）more parental support

Passage 3

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage：

The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month, but it will fall we know not where. That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4，000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.

What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the“big pieces”that will come through the atmosphere. Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1，000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour, and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.

What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them. That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island.That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what scientists had assured us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor.

41.We can conclude from the passage that where the Skylab will fall__________.

A）is still kept secret

B）is predicted by computers

C）will be announced soon

D）can’t be predicted at present

42.The broken Skylab will be__________.

A）falling with the force of a 12-story building

B）in two lumps, weighing more than 1，000 pounds each

C）an attractive scientific adventure to millions of people

D）scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4，000 miles long

43.It can be inferred from the passage that__________.

A）the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimated

B）the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimated

C）it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything about

D）computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab

44.Three Mile Island was mentioned__________.

A）because the author is afraid of nuclear accident there

B）because the author doesn’t believe in the officials’words

C）because the broken Skylab was as safe as the nuclear reactor

D）because the author fears that the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plant

45.The author expresses his__________.

A）willingness to give his advice

B）doubtful attitude toward scientists

C）interest in the failure of the Skylab

D）eagerness to see more new scientific discoveries
