Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three
times. The passage is printed on your Answer Sheet with about
10 blanks of missing words or phrases, or sentences. First,
you will hear the whole passage from the beginning to the end
just to get a general idea of it. Then, in the second reading,
you will hear signal indicating the beginning of a pause after
each sentence, sometimes or just part of a sentence. During
the pause, you must write down the missing words you have just
heard in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. There is
also a different signal indicating the end of the pause. When
you hear this signal, you must get ready for what comes next
from the recording. You can check what you have written when
the passage is read to you again without the pauses.
Arabs consider it (15) bad manner to start talking
business immediately. Even the busiest government official or
(16) always takes (17) time to be polite and offer (18). No
matter how busy you are, you should make time for this (19)
. Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a
(20) in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a
(21). Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.
Patience is an important (22). You may have to wait two or
three days to see high level government officials as they are
very busy. Give yourself enough time. Personal relationships
are very important. They are the key to do business in Arab
countries (23) .
When an Arab says yes, he may mean “maybe”. When he says
maybe, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct
“no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Also, he
does not want to close his options. Instead of “no”, he will
say “inshalah” which means, “if God is willing”(24) .

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (占总分的35%)
(占总分的25%)
Directions:There are three passages in this part.Each passage
is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For
each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You
should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding
letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
center.
Questions 35 to 39 are based on the following passage:
Auctions(拍卖) are public sales of goods,conducted by an
officially approved auctioneer.He asked the crowd to gather in
the auction room to bid for various items on sale.He
encourages buyers to bid higher figures and finally names the
highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.This is called
“knocking down” the goods,for the bidding ends when the
auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform.
The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction and
the English word comes from the Latin “autic”,meaning
“increase”.The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils
taken in war;these sales were called “sub hasta”,meaning
“under the spear”,a spear being stuck in the ground as a
signal for a crowd to gather.In England in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle”;a
short candle was lit by the auctioneer and bids could be made
while it was burning.Practically all goods can be sold by
auction.Among these are
coffee,skins,wool,tea,cocoa,furs,fruit,vegetables and
wines.Auction sales are also usual for land and
property,antique furniture, pictures,rare books,old china and
works of art.The auction rooms at Chritie’s and Sotheby’s in
London and New York are world famous.
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full
particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they
can be viewed by the buyers.If the advertisement cannot give
full details,catalogues are printed,and each group of goods to
be sold together,called a “lot”,is usually given a number.The
auctioneer need not begin with lot one and continue the
numerical order;he may wait until he notices the fact that
certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they
are likely to be interested in.The auctioneer’s services are
paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods
are sold for.The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in
pushing up the bidding.
35.Auctioned goods are sold____.
A.for the highest price offered
B.at fixed prices
C.at prices lower than their true value
D.at prices offered by the auctioneer
36.The end of bidding is called “knocking down” because____.
A.the auctioneer knocks on the table
B.the auctionees names the highest bidder as the buyer of the
goods
C.the goods are knocked down onto the table
D.the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer
37.In the sentence“The Romans usually sold in this way the
spoils taken in war,”the word “spoils” most probably
means____.
A.useless goodsB.spears C.various kinds of foodD.property
taken from the enemy
38.In England a candle used to burn at auction sales____.
A.because the auction sales took place at night
B.as a signal for the crowd to gather
C.to keep the auction room warm
D.to limit the time when offers of prices could be made
39.An auction catalogue gives buyers____.
A.the current market values of the goods
B.details of the goods to be sold
C.the order in which goods are to be sold
D.free admission to the auction sale
Questions 40 to 44 are based on the following passage:
There are some 65 species of New World monkeys.Many of
these have a very useful anatomical adaptation lacking in
their old world counterparts:that curious“fifth hand”,the
prehensile tail.And in a few species the gripping tail has
developed to such an extent that it actually has
“fingerprints” on the tip.While of course a tail is not
equipped with fingers,it can sometimes be even more useful
than an arm or a leg.A spider monkey’s tail,for instance,is
longer than its head and body combined,and is frequently used
instead of a hand to grasp distant objects.Other monkeys less
fortunate are forced to relegate at least one limb to support
while they feed,whereas monkeys endowed with prehensility can
hang by their tails while they feast with both hands and
feet.A few New World monkeys have also evolved arms and
shoulders that are suitable for swinging hand over hand
through the trees like the Asiatic gibbons.
40.The passage mainly discusses____.
A.certain evolutionary advantages of New World monkeys
B.feeding habits of the spider monkey
C.the development of arms and shoulders in New World monkeys
D.some anatomical adaptations of Asiatic gibbons
41.The author probably believes that a monkey uses its
prehensile tail especially for____.
A.running over a grassy plainB.supporting itself while eating
C.swimming across a riverD.defending itself against enemies
42.In the second sentence,the word “their” refers to____.
A.New World monkeysB.Old World monkeys
C.spider monkeysD.Asiatic gibbons
43.It can be inferred from the passage that the Asiatic
gibbons and certain New World monkeys are similar in what
respect?
A.The length of their tails.
B.Their mating habits.
C.The ability to grip with their feet.
D.Their upper body structure.
44.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to
the information in the passage?
A.Some monkeys use their hands to grasp objects.
B.A spider monkey has a very long tail.
C.A prehensile tail has fingers.
D.Asiatic gibbons can swing through trees.
Questions 45 to 49 are based on the following passage:
Baltimore was founded in 1729.For a generation it seemed
no different from a dozen other settlements springing up at
the head of the Chesapeake Bay;its claim to distinction
consisted of a blacksmith’s shop,flour mill,and tobacco
warehouse.Yet Baltimore was fated for a more dynamic future
than its slow beginnings seemed to portend.Spurred by an
agricultural revolution in the Maryland and Pennsylvania
countrysides as well as dramatic disruptions in the Atlantic
economy,Baltimore at mid century began to boom.By 1790 it had
risen to become the new republic’s fourth largest city with
aspirations to overtake the three still ahead:New
York,Philadelphia,and Boston.
Although the Baltimore of the Jeffersonian are looked
utterly unlike the colonial village from which it had
emerged,the two shared more than might be apparent at first
glance.Baltimore’s economy had expanded tremendously,to be
sure,but the same forces that sparked expansion around 1750
continued to sustain it fifty years later.Despite the
establishment of new governments at the state level in
1776,national level in 1788,and municipal level in 1797,the
same festering issues continued to convulse its politics.If
Baltimore had become richer and bigger,its occupational
structure,wealth distribution,and residential patterns would
have withstood the pressures of growth and looked about the
same in 1790 as in 1812.In other words,beneath the frenzied
and seemingly chaotic pace of urbanization,Baltimore enjoyed a
strong element of stability.For in 1812,no less than in
1729,Baltimore was a preindustrial town.
45.In what year was Baltimore established?
A.1729.B.1750.C.1776.D.1788.
46.Which of the following was not one of the nation’s three
largest cities in 1790?
A.Philadelphia.B.Boston.C.New York.D.Baltimore.
47.In line 13,the word “sparked” could best be replaced by
which of the following?
A.Burned up.B.Flickered.C.Led to.D.Discharged.
48.What level of government was established in 1788?
A.Municipal.B.Country.C.State.D.National.
49.Which of the following statements about the Baltimore of
1812 can be inferred from the passage?
A.It did not take the way the city did in 1790.
B.It did not have many factories.
C.It was not an enjoyable place in which to live.
D.It could not grow any larger.

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.
1 First read the following question.
50. What is the writer’s main point?
A. Animals yawn for a number of reasons.
B. Yawning results only from fatigue or boredom.
C. Human yawns are the same as those of other animals.
D. Only social animals yawn.
Now read Passage 1 quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER
SHEET.
Today’s discussion is about a common animal reaction—— the
yawn. The dictionary defines a yawn as “an involuntary
reaction to fatigue or boredom.” That’s certainly true for
human yawns, but not necessarily for animal yawns. The same
action can have quite different meanings in different species.
For example, some animals yawn to intimidate intruders on
their territory. Fish and lizards are examples of this. Hippos
use yawns when they want to settle a quarrel. Observers have
seen two hippos yawn at each other for as long as two hours
before they stop quarreling. As for social animals like
baboons or lions, they yawn to establish the pecking order
within social groups, and lions often yawn to calm social
tensions. Sometimes these animals yawn for a strictly
physiological reason——that is, to increase oxygen levels. And
curiously enough, when they yawn for a physical reason like
that, they do what humans do—they try to stifle the yawn by
looking away or by covering their mouths.
2 First read the following question.
51. The main idea of the passage is____.
A. women in Pakistan are liberated totally
B. women in Pakistan are entering men’s world
C. women in Pakistan should wear traditional clothes and stay
at home
D. women in Pakistan are running some business completely
Now read Passage 2 quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER
SHEET.
In Pakistan the role of women is changing. Although
wearing traditional clothing and staying at home used to be
the rule, today many women are going into professions, such as
medicine, law, and engineering. They comprise a large part of
the workers in business and factories, and in addition, they
are working up to important jobs which used to be held
predominantly by men. There are even some businesses which are
run completely by women. However, they still run up against
road blocks since many government jobs are closed to them, and
certain jobs are not considered honorable for women. In
general, they feel they are more liberated now and have an
alternative to their old way of life.
3 First read the following question.
52. Which statement is true about first aid?
A. It usually makes the services of a doctor unnecessary.
B. It is usually done by someone who is not a doctor.
C. It is usually done by a doctor.
D. It is usually done by the victim himself.
Now read Passage 3 quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER
SHEET.
First aid may be defined as the immediate and temporary
care given to a victim of an accident or serious illness until
the supersedes of a physician can be obtained. First aid
commences with the steadying effect upon the stricken person
when he realizes that competent hands will help him. The
emergency situation often causes confusion in the mind of the
victim, things seem unreal and remote, and he often cannot
think clearly and rationally for some time. The emotional
reaction which results from a serious accident takes time to
subside. Therefore, first aid is more than the physical
attention dressing his injuries or making him comfortable. It
is the general mental effect that the well-selected word of
encouragement, the expression of willingness to help, the
uplifting effect of the first aider’s evident capability can
be given. The thoughtful for suggestions made to solve
immediate problems, the information given concerning nearby
physicians and hospitals, the telephone call to summon medical
help or an ambulance or to notify a relative, these too are
first aid. The good first aider deals with the whole
situation, the person and the injury. He knows what not to do
as well as to do. Thus, he avoids the error so commonly made
through well meant but misguided efforts. He confines his
procedures to what is necessary, keeping the handling of
injured parts to a minimum.
4 First read the following question.
53. Which service is NOT provided on some ships?
A. Fully-equipped health spa.
B. Fitness classes.
C. Rock climbing wall.
D. Sumptuous midnight buffets.
Now read Passage 4 quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER
SHEET.

Short Answer Questions (占总分的5%)
Directions:
In the 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).
Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations, and
yet most people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery
envelops them. They come into being-somewhere-in faraway,
frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence,
which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a
short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed.
Objects of sheerest beauty, they have been called.
Appearing in an endless variety of shapes, they may be
dazzlingly white, or they may be glassy blue, green or purple,
tinted faintly or in darker hues. They are graceful, stately,
inspiring in calm, sunlit seas.
But they are also called frightening and dangerous,
and that they are-in the night, in the fog, and in storms.
Even in clear weather one is wise to stay a safe distance away
from them. Most of their bulk is hidden below the water, so
their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible
top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning the
waters around them.
Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift
into the water, float about awhile, and finally melt. Icebergs
afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long
ages of time. They embody snows that drifted down hundreds, or
many thousands, or in some cases maybe a million years ago.
The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains, where
they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to
great depths over the years and centuries.
As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface,
evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose
their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice. When new
snow fell on top of the old, it too turned to icy grains. So
blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and
were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper
layers compressed the lower ones. With time and pressure from
above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger
crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a
solid mass of ice.
Questions:
S1.Which is the main idea of this passage?
____ ____ ____ ____ ____
____ ____ ____ ____ ____
S2.Why does the author state that icebergs are rarely seen?
