For each question or statement there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D Your should make the correct choice and write thecorresponding letter on the Answer SheetTask 1There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear. The dress of an individual is a kind of ―sign language‖ that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed. Traditionally, a concern for clothes was considered to be on affair of females, while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness(意识).This type of American culture is gradually changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color. Even as early as 1955, a researcher in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important. White collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability, which could be used to impress or influence others, especially in the work situation. The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss. Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing , they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.Since that time , of course, the patterns have changed: the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt, while the blue-collar worker may be wearing a white shirt; but the importance of dress has not become less. Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.46. The passage tells us that__________.A. our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activityB. the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values andlifestylesC. our values and lifestyles are from the sign languageD．the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediateimpression47.

It can seem too much like hard work. But the problem comes when they go abroad on holidays and find they cannot communicate. How do they ask the way, or ask the price of something?Keith thinks he has the answer to this problem. ― I have got a machi ne which talks in different languages. I feel that I could go to any country in the world and converse with any foreigners,‖ he says. Keith is an inventor. His invention is an electronic machine which produces phrases in four different languages, French, German, Italian and English. Unlike the phrase books, this machine has a voice. It looks like a cassette recorder.Imagine you want to say, ― What time is next train for Munich?‖ in German. First, you find the right card for that question. Each card has four strips of tape on it, one for each language. The cards are small, and each one can store up to two hundred and forty words. You run a pick up head along the tape and – hey presto!—a voice come out of the amplifier, asking the question. The person at the information desk may get a surprise, but you will get your answer!Keith hopes that an electronics company will buy his idea and develop it commercially to sell it to tourists. Meanwhile, he’s working on more new ideas. ―It’s really just a hobby for me. Some people like playing golf or tennis, but I like making new things.‖ He said.51.

It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in Britain life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one of Britain’s most famous architects (建筑师). His work points the way to new development in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is, to express the values of the information age.What is ―information age‖ building? The dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have ―jobs for life‖, modern buildings are desig ned for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger’s building, the Pompidous Center in France, uses theidea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The Pompidous Center is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.56.

The gradually cooling earth was enclosed in heavy layers of clouds, which contained much of the water of the new planet. For a long time its surface was so hot that no moisture could fall without immediately being changed back into steam. This dense, constantly renewed cloud covering must have been so thick that no rays of sunlight could penetrate it. And so the rough outlines of the continents and the empty ocean basins were sculptured out of the surface of the earth in darkness, in a Stygian world of heated rock and swirling clouds and gloom.As soon as the earth’s crust cooled enough, the rains began to fall. Never have there been such rains since that time. They fell continuously , day and night, days passing into months, into years, into centuries. They poured into the waiting ocean basins, or fell upon the continental masses, and drained away to become the seas.61. When the earth came into existence, there was no ocean on the earth because of the _____________________________.62. We might infer from the passage that ― a Stygian world‖ most probably refers to___________________________________.63. The rain began to fall because the earth’s crust _________________________.64. An appropriate title for the passage mig ht be ―The ______________________ .‖65.The earth’s crust was less hot because ________________________ prevented thesunshine from penetrating it.Part Ⅳ Translation (35 points)(Ⅰ) Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese (4 points each for No.66 through No. 68; 6 points for No. 69 ; 18 points in all ).66.
