Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet.(30%)Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Yellow fever is a disease of warm lands that is found mainly along the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. It was first noticed in the Americas, but may well have come from Africa and reached the new world with or soon after Columbus. Until about fifty years ago, yellow fever was still one of the most feared diseases in the United States, where many died in repeated outbreaks. An outbreak which was to lead to surprising developments was one that happened in Cuba during the Spanish-American war.As a result, an army group under Major Walter Reed was sent there in June, 1900, with orders ―to give special attention to questions concerning the cause and prevention of yellow fever‖. In a daring group of experiments using human beings, Major Reed proved the truth of an idea advanced in 1881 by a Cuban doctor, that the city type of mosquito passed on the disease.The successful result of these experiments gave birth to another and still more important idea: kill off the city type of mosquitoes and there will be no more yellow fever. Fortunately these mosquitoes are one of the easiest types to destroy. They are born in pools of quiet, warm water, within a short distance to people’s home.So to Havana came a general with orders from the United States government to dry up these pools. He carried out his task so well that the mosquitoes disappeared. With them went yellow fever, never to return to Havana. A few years later the same general successfully repeated this operation in Panama and in this way made possible the building of the Panama Canal. It all seemed so simple. End the mosquitoes: end the disease. Man even began to dream of getting rid of yellow fever from the world.Meanwhile one question still remained unanswered. The city type of mosquitoes carried the fever, without doubt, but how? After many experiments, a member of the United States army yellow fever commission decided that the disease must be carried by something too small to be seen. Of his own free will, this devoted scientist decided to allow himself to be bitten by an infected mosquito. Then, taking some of his infected blood, he injected it into three other members of the group who wanted to help. Two of the three got yellow fever – and recovered. This showed that the disease was carried by a virus, which was too small to be seen through the microscopes of the day.11. Yellow fever is found mainly around ___________.A). the Atlantic Ocean B). any warm oceanC). the Americas D). any warm country12. The outbreak which stirred the interest of the U.S. army was in ___________.A). Cuba B). SpainC). Panama D0. the United States13. One of the reasons that yellow fever was defeated was that ___________.A). some people were willing to sacrifice themselves for othersB). doctors were well trainedC). orders of the army had to be carried out at any costD). public feeling was strong against the disease14. When the doctors found that blood samples could carry the disease, they examined them withmicroscopes and saw ___________.A). nothing B). virusC). germs D). different signs of disease15. The building of the Panama Canal was made possible by ___________.A). the success of the Spanish-American warB). the work of the United States armyC). the killing of mosquitoes nearbyD). development of special drugsPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage：Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasoline and thus enabled scientists to differentiate the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.16. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that __________.A). the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB). lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseC). lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD). the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow17. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US__________.A). was discouraged B). was enforced by lawC). was prohibited by law D). was introduced18. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A). By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B). By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.C). By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.D). By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.19. The authors of the Ambio study have found that __________.A). forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB). lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withC). lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USD). the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions20. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists ____________.A). are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollutionB). feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC). still consider lead pollution a problemD). lack sufficient means to combat lead pollutionPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Scientists say there has been a severe decrease in the amount of water in Lake Chad in northern Africa in the last thirty years. They report that nature and humans share equal blame forIn 1963 the fresh water lake covered twenty-five-thousand-square kilometers .Now the lake is only about five percent of that size. It measures only about one-thousand-three-hundred squareFour nations surround Lake Chad. People in Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon use it forMichael Coe and Jonathan Foley are water experts at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. They reported about Lake Chad in the Journal of Geophysical Research. They say the area has suffered from a lack of heavy rain for more than thirty years. This has forced people to build systems to caMister Coe says Lake Chad will be only a small body of water in the future. He says people still can get water from the lake to drink and for crops. But he says the lake will no longer provideThe researchers used a computer to study what caused the water loss. Their computer study estimated the climate and amount of water in the area. The estimate started with the early 1960s. Then the researchers compared the estimates with the area’s recorded climate and water supply forThe computer study showed results similar to the recorded ones for the first twenty years. But there was a big change in the 1980s. At that time, the lake got smaller much faster than theThe researchers say major irrigation systems were built in the 1980s. The systems took water from two rivers that flow into Lake Chad. The Chari and Logone rivers carry most of the water that enters the lake. The study showed the increased irrigation reduced the flow in the two rivers. Climate changes also were responsible for the reduction. Today the flow of the two rivers has been reduced by almost seventy-Scientists say the problem is expected to worsen in the coming years as the population and21.

Read the passage carefully, then write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(10%) Would-be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common; they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country, and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and attitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counterparts--- something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy—linguistic discrimination (语言上的歧视) is a thing of the past.An ongoing research project, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, teacher educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native/non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. ―No‖ was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English. It didn’t matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrimination—this time justified because it singledout the unqualified—liberated the Linguistically oppressed (受压迫的). But the Cambridge project did more than just that: it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers are extremely similar.26. The selection of English teachers used to be mainly based on ______________.27. What did non-native English teachers deserve but seldom enjoy?28. What kind of people can now find a job as an English teacher?29. What is the result of the ―new form of discrimination‖ (Line 5, Para. 4)30.

Remember to write the answer on the Answer Sheet.(10%)Certainly dustmen prefer to known as ―Refuse Collection and Disposal Officer‖. You may think that this is rather silly, and that it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be just as sensitive as people of any other occupation, thought we must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are up, we are inclined to forget that they exist. Our dustbins are emptied regularly, but we rarely stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to take away the rubbish, the general public will soon become aware that something is wrong.Part V Writing (15%)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: On Aid-education in China.
