1 While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of

P…” After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank.He

In the fourth week Mr.Frank was arrested for failing to
pay his hotel bill.His passport was taken from him.He tried to
explain the problem,but no one believed him.He was sent to
prison for six days. When he came out,he went immediately to
the Fisher bank.The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have
you received $500 for me?”he ask,“My name is Jackson
Frank.” The clerk checked his books.“Yes,Jackson,it’s
here.It came by telegram.—let me see—oh,more than two months
ago.We wondered where you were.”He showed Mr.Frank the
order. The order read:“Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of
$500...” “But my name is Jackson Frank,not Frank
Jackson.” “Oh,that’s all right,sir.It was in our books
under the letter‘J’,but it’s your money.”The clerk
laughed,“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t
we?And so we all make mistakes.A family name like Frank sounds

2 To most Africans,tribalism simply means very strong loyalty
to one’s ethnic group.It is a force that can be both good and
bad.By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the
extended family.It makes sure that a person is taken care of
by his own group.To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not
wrong;it is an obligation.Similarly,for a politician or
military leader it is considered good common sense to choose
his closest adviser from people of his own tribe.This ensures
security,continuity, authority.Tribal loyalty may mean a quick
promotion—from sergeant to captain,from clerk to
manager—within a very short time. Modern African politicians
publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains
perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.As
evidence of tribalism,in 1977 in Kenya,president Jomo
Kenyatta’s tribe controlled business and politics.Eight of
the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four were
filled by Kikuyus.In Uganda in the same year,the president’s
small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and
military positions!In Agola,Ethiopia,and Nigeria,the fighting
in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements
among tribes.
40.What is the definition of tribalism?
A.Sharing among members of the extended family.
B.Giving a job to a fellow tribesman.
C.A force that can be both good and bad.
D.People have the same religious belief.
41.One example of how a tribe takes care of its own people is
____.
A.“a force that can be both good and bad”
B.“very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group”
C.“tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”
D.it is important to be loyal to one’s own tribal group
42.In paragraph 2,“the most important four” refers to
____.
A.military positionB.businessC.cabinet postsD.Kikuyus
43.How many examples are there “as evidence of tribalism”?
A.Four.B.Two.C.One.D.Three.
44.According to the passage,which of the following statements
is wrong?
A.Modern African politicians approve of tribal divisions.
B.A person is usually taken care of by his own tribe.

3 When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is
advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming
at,for,however far-fetched and unreasonable their contents may
seem today,it is possible that in years to come they may be
regarded as normal.With regard to Futurist poetry,however,the
case is rather difficult,for whatever Futurist poetry may
be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be
right—it can hardly be classed as Literature. This,in
brief,is what the Futurist says for a century,past conditions
of life have been continually speeding up,till now we live in
a world of noise and violence and speed.Consequently,our
feelings,thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding
change.This speeding up of life,says the Futurist,requires a
new form of expressions.We must speed up our literature too,if
we want to interpret modern stress.We must pour out a cataract
of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying
adjectives,or finite verbs.Instead of describing sounds we
must make up words that imitate them;we must use many sizes of
type and different colored inks on the same page,and shorten
or lengthen words at will. Certainly their descriptions of
battles are vividly chaotic.But it is a little disconcerting
to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes
a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge
off which they both fall into the river——and then to find
that the line consists of the noise of thei
r falling are the weights of the officers.“Pluff!Pulff!A
hundred and eighty five kilograms.” This,though it fulfills
the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry can hardly be
classed as Literature.All the same,no thinking man can refuse
to accept their first proposition that a great change in our
emotional life calls for a change of expression.The whole
question is really this:how we essentially changed?
45.The main idea of this selections is best expressed as
____.
A.The Past versus the future
B.Changes in modern Life
C.Merits of the Futurist movement
D.An evaluation of Futurist poetry
46.When novel ideas appear,it is desirable,according to the
writer,to ____.
A.discover the aims of their adherents
B.ignore them
C.follow the fashion
D.regard them as normal
47.The Futurists claim that we must ____.
A.increase the production of literature
B.look to the future
C.develop new literary forms
D.avoid unusual words
48.The writer believes that Futurist poetry is ____.
A.too emotional
B.too new in type to be acceptable
C.not literature as he knows it
D.essential to basic change in the nature mankind
49.The futurist poet uses all the following devices
EXCEPT____.
A.imitative words
B.qualifying adjectives
C.different colored inks
D.a stream of essential words
Skimming and Scanning (占总分的10%)
Directions:In this section there are four passages with a
total of four multiple choice questions. Skim or scan them as
required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.
1First read the following question.
50.The author’s intention is to ____ .
A. tell how to decorate the house
B. stress the importance of a well furnished home
C. define the “home”
D. advertise for a furniture company
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on
your ANSWER SHEET.
WELCOME HOME
A home is created from a great many different elements. By
you. For you. You make your decisions based on what you need
and what you like, in other words, what inspires you. At IKEA,
we try to inspire everyone to create a beautiful home. The
idea is that you can come into any one of our stores, and
stroll through our room settings and specialty shops.
Hopefully, the thousands of home furnishings and accessories
you see there will give you some ideas. And in the end,
you’ll find something you can not only afford to bring home.
But, more importantly, want to bring home.
2 First read the following question.
51.What is the writer’s main message in the passage?
A. Unemployment brings downward changes in people’s lives.
B. One should try to make the best of unemployment.
C. Many people have no problems with unemployment.
D. Unemployment results in negative psychological effects.
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on
your ANSWER SHEET.
As more and more people lose their jobs, now is perhaps
the time to consider the experience of unemployment. What are
the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to
find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. If you’ve
lost a job, the first feeling is often one of shock. As well
as the loss of income, many people find the whole routine of
their life is shattered, their contact with other people
reduced, their ambitions halted and their identity as a worker
removed. At first there may be good feelings too—a new and
better job is just around the corner—it’s nice to be able to
lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the
children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job
does turn up, the chances are the days start getting longer
and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through
periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel
irritable and depressed, often isolated and lonely.
Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a
chance for a fresh start. You can discover that it provides an
opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and
how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan how to
find a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see
if you can run your own business.
3 First read the following question.
52.Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Generation gap is a result of different attitudes.
B. People become far more conservative as they grow older.
C. Attitudes formed in the early twenties do not change
easily.
D.Attitudes of the younger generation are different from those
of their elders.
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on
your ANSWER SHEET.
The gap in attitudes between the older and younger generations
is well known. But why does the gap exist? Is it, as some
believe, because people become more conservative as they age?
Or is it simply that today’s younger generation has adopted
attitudes that differ from those of their elders? One
researcher found that people’s ideas do change somewhat as
they grow older, but they don’t change much. Attitudes formed
in the late teens and early twenties are pretty stable. Thus
the generation gap seems to result from each generation’s
entering adulthood with different attitudes.
4 First read the following question.
53.The author states that no modern newspaper ____ .
A. is free of propaganda
B. is controlled by big business interests
C. separates fact and opinion
D. operates according to a code of ethics
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on
your ANSWER SHEET.
Daily newspaper has an editorial page. Here opinion is
expressed on events and personalities in the news. But
editorial judgement is so persuasively presented that many
people accept these opinions as facts. Good journalists uphold
a code of ethics which distinguishes between news and
editorial opinion. This code holds that in an editorial column
the publisher is entitled to advocate any cause he
chooses. It is understood that there he is speaking as a
partisan and may express any view he desires. Because a modern
newspaper is so expensive to produce and so costly to
establish, newspapers have increasingly become big business
organizations. Although there are exceptions, these large
newspapers tend to reflect the views of their owners in their
editorials on economic and political matters.
In the news columns, however, the complete and unbiased facts
should be reported. The better metropolitan newspapers and the
great press associations usually can be relied on to keep
their news impartial. But the less ethical publications often
deliberately “color” the news to favor or oppose certain
group or movements.

Short Answer Questions (占总分的5%)
Directions:
In this part there is a short passage with five questions or
incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer
the questions
or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not
exceeding 10 words).
Our world is filled with sounds we never hear. The human
auditory(听觉的) range is limited to begin with: if we could
hear sounds lower than 20 vibrations per second, we would be
driven mad by the rumblings and creakings of our muscles,
intestines and heartbeats; every step we take would sound like
an explosion. But even with our auditory range we select,
focus, pay attention to a few sounds and blot out the rest. We
are so assaulted(困扰) by sound that we continually “turn
off”. But in the process we shut out the glorious
symphony(交响乐) of sound in which the living world is
bathed.
The sound tormented city dweller who habitually “turns
off his audio” loses a dimension of social reality. Some
people, for example, possess the ability to enter a crowded
room and from the sounds encountered know immediately the
mood, pace and direction of the group assembled. Everything
becomes more real when heard as well as seen. It is, in fact,
quite hard really to know a person by sight alone, without
hearing his voice. And it is not just the sound of the voice
that informs. Even the rhythm of footsteps reveals age and
variations of mood—delight, depression, anger, joy.
Hearing can also soothe and comfort. The snapping of logs
in the fireplace, the gossipy whisper of a broom, the
inquisitive wheeze of a drawer opening—all are savored sounds
that make us feel at home. In a well loved home, every chair
produced a different, recognizable creak, every window a
different click, groan or squeak. The kitchen by itself is a
source of many pleasing sounds. Every place, every event has a
sound dimension.
The sense of hearing can perhaps be restored to modern man
if he better understands its worth and how it works. Most
people would be surprised to discover how far the sense can be
pushed by cultivation. At a friend’s house recently, my
wife opened her purse and some coins spilled out, one after
another, onto the floor. “Three quarters, two dimes, a
nickels and three pennies,” said our host as he came in from
the next room. And as an after thought: “One of the quarters
is silver.” He was right, down to the last penny
“How did you do it?” we asked. “Try it yourself.” he
said. We did, and with a little practice we found it easy.
Curiously, evidence indicates that people need sound.
When we are lost in thought, we involuntarily drum with our
fingers or tap with a pencil—a reminder that we are still
surrounded by a world outside ourselves. Just cutting down
reflected sound can produce some odd results. The nearest
thing on earth to the silence of outer space, for example, is
the “anechoic chamber” at the Bell Telephone Lab
oratories in Burray Hills, N.J., which is lined with material
that absorbs 99.98% of all reflected sound. Men who have
remained in the room for more than an hour report that they
feel nervous and out of touch with reality.
Questions:
S1.According to Paragraph One. Why do we blot out the sounds
we don’t want to hear?

PART Ⅳ WRITING (占总分的15%)
Directions:
For this part,you are required to write a composition about
“What Would Happen If There Were No Power” in three
paragraphs.You are
given the first sentence or part of the first sentence of each
paragraph.Your composition should be no less than 120
words.Remember to write your composition neatly.
1.Ever since early the last century,electricity has become an
essential part of our modern life.
2.If there were no electric power,____.
3.Therefore,____.
参考答案:
Section A
M: Did you take these pictures? They’re very good.
W: Yes, I think they turned out well, too. I like to take my
camera with me wherever I go. That way, if I see something
interesting, I can snap a picture of it.
M: Carrying a big camera around is too much trouble for me.
W: My camera is really small, though. Here, let me show you.
M: That is a compact camera. But you really must know a lot
about photography to get such professional looking results.
W: Not necessarily. This camera is simple to operate.
M: Does this model come with a flash attachment for indoor
shots?
W: Better than that. It has a built-in electronic flash, and
focusing.
M: That’s what I need. When I take pictures they usually come
out blurry because I don’t adjust the lenses popery, and I
hate photos that are out of focus. Is a camera like yours very
expensive?
W: Less than you’d expect. Why don’t you check the prices at
Hatfield’s down the street? This model was on sale there last
week.
M: I think I will. It certainly won’t hurt to take a look.
Section B
5.W:Hello,John,this is Alice.I’m calling from work.How’s your
mother feeling?
M:That was very thoughtful of you.Mom is out of the hospital
but she has to stay in bed a few more days.
Q:Where is Alice?
6.M:You’re going to Chicago this weekend,aren’t you?
W:Yes.I thought I’d fly,but I decided that taking a bus would
be cheaper than driving or flying.
Q:How will the woman go to Chicago?
