丛书总序
大学英语考试是一项大规模标准化考试，是一个“标准关联的常模参照测验”。大学英语四、六级考试作为一项全国性的教学考试，由国家教育部高教司主办，分为四级考试（CET-4）和六级考试（CET-6），每年各举行两次。从2005年1月起，成绩满分为710分，凡考试成绩在220分以上的考生，由国家教育部高教司委托全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会发给成绩单。大学英语考试已经得到社会的承认，每年参考人数超过1100万人次，是全球参考人数最多的单次考试，目前已经成为各级人事部门录用大学毕业生的标准之一，产生了一定的社会效益。
根据对考试改革进程的要求，2007年1月起全面实施改革后的四级考试，同年6月全面实施改革后的六级考试。
在考试内容和形式上，四、六级考试加大了听力理解部分的题量和比例，增加了快速阅读理解测试，增加了非选择性试题的比例。
在试卷构成上，对四、六级考试进行的改革主要体现在以下方面：
1. 听力理解部分的分值比例从原来的20%提高至35%，增加了长对话听力理解测试，复合式听写由原来的备选题型改为必考题型；
2. 阅读理解部分增加了快速阅读技能测试；
3. 词汇和语法知识不再单独列为考项，而融入了其他各部分试题中进行考核；
4. 增加了句子层面的汉译英测试；
5. 增加了构建型试题的比例，减少了多项选择题的比例。

Space Tourism
Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially open for business，and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration（NASA），Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world's first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station（ISS）on April 30，2001. The second space tourist，South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth，took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25，2002，also bound for the ISS.
Lance Bass of'N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip，but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30，2002，due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.
These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions，believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.
In 1997，NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings，and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies，who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable，reusable launch vehicle.
Space Accommodations
Russia's Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001，the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out，bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.
The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC，which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001. Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia's cosmonaut（宇航员）training center，Star City. Each week，one of the participants would be eliminated from the show，with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir Space Station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC's space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.
Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space：
Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped，rotating “commercial space infrastructure（基础结构）” that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie 2001： A Space Odyssey. Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks（to start，it should take around 12 or so），and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth's.
According to their vision statement，Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousands of people in space over the next 10—15 years and beyond，around the moon，and back，from spaceports both on Earth and in space，to and from private space stations，and aboard dozens of different vehicles…”
Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and the possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However，the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.
Initially，space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance，if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction. Guests won't find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research，not entertainment. However，the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.
In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island，such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth，and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function normally within the structure. Everything from running water to a recycling plant to medical facilities would be possible. Additionally，space tourists would even be able to take space walks.
Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands，if not millions，of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?
The Most Expensive Vacation
Will space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it，going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently，the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz，both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space，which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload（有效载重）costs about $10，000 to put into Earth's orbit.
NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane，called the VentureStar. That could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. If the VentureStar takes off，the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.
In 1998，a joint report from NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50，000，and possibly down to $20，000 or $10，000 a decade later. The report concluded that at a ticket price of $50，000，there could be 500，000 passengers flying into space each year. While still leaving out many people，these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.
Since the beginning of the space race，the general public has said，“Isn't that great—when I get to go?” Well，our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years，space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angeles.

2. Several tourism companies believe space travel is going to be a new profitable industry.
3. The space agencies are reluctant to open up space to tourists.

Part IV Reading Comprehension（Reading in Depth）（25 minutes）
Section A
Directions：In this section，there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
I've heard from and talked to many people who described how Mother Nature simplified their lives for them. They'd lost their home and many or all of their possessions through fires，floods，earthquakes，or some other disaster. Losing everything you own under such circumstances can be distressing，but the people I've heard from all saw their loss，ultimately，as a blessing.
“The fire saved us the agony of deciding what to keep and what to get rid of，” one woman wrote. And once all those things were no longer there，she and her husband saw how they had weighed them down and complicated their lives.
“There was so much stuff we never used and that was just taking up space. We vowed when we started over，we'd replace only what we needed，and this time we'd do it right. We've kept our promise. We don't have much now，but what we have is exactly what we want.”
Though we've never had a catastrophic loss such as that，Gibbs and I did have a close call shortly before we decided to simplify. At that time we lived in a fire zone. One night a firestorm raged through and destroyed over six hundred homes in our community. That tragedy gave us the opportunity to look objectively at the goods we'd accumulated.
