Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，40minutes)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number ofcomprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer byblackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. Duringthis time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get whilesleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, yourmuscles relax little by little. Your heart beast more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reachthe fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another. Although yourmind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that whendreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eye-lids are closed). This stageof sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an oldsuggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.1. A good title for this passage is ____.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest2.

This was not because the woods and fields were always far away,but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning andnightfall.In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. Hedecided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone whobrought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity ofmoney. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold themany young people who wanted to stay there, As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castlenearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to knoweach other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their card of membershipin a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit him to use the facilities of hostelsall over the world for very low prices.Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or theworld will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinnerwith many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs,or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just bymeeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" canbe just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.6. The author says children in the city seldom went to the woods and fields because ____.A. these places were too far away for them to go between morning and nightfallB. it was impossible for them to go and get back in one dayC. they were not old enough to take such a tripD. they were not permitted to go to these places7.

In the author's opinion, young people can learn a lot during the days they speed "hostelling"because ____.A. they meet a lot of people from different placesB. they have such useful classes in the hostel as they don't have in schoolsC. they have more interesting activities than at schoolD. they are very much interested in life in the hostel10. Which do you think might be the proper tide for this passage?A. Youth Organization.B. International TravelC. Education Out of School.D. Summer Holidays.Passage 3One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, thevoice of theadvertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us fromevery page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashesmessages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among England's biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps thereason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about withoutworrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without addingcustomer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerance and stress factors. Sothey just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making itappeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attractslove, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturershate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason oranother, some alteration seems called for-how much better to change the image, the packet or thepitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude toward modem advertising?A. IndifferentB. ShockedC. DisappearingD. Approving12. According to the author, which is NOT the designer's chief concern when he designs aproduct?A. Stress factorsB. Man-hours.C. Machine toleranceD. Customer-appeal.13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are____.A. customersB. designersC. advertisersD. manufacturers14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer willchoose to ____.A. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its image15. The best title for the passage might be ____.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising-England's Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage 4All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. Thisdoes not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anythinglike certainty. There are still too many things we don't know about the way the universe is puttogether. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have apretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situationis to imagine a train coming into a switchyard( 调车场). All of the switches(转辙器）are set before thetrain arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see. others we cannot.There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that somepossible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is nosuch certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea whichone. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when wearrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.billions of years intothe future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. Thegoal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will befollowed.16. According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the dist universe because we ____.A. have too many conflicting theoriesB. do not have enough funding to continue our researchC. are not sure how the universe is put togetherD. have focused our investigations on the moon and planets17. What does the author see as the function of the universe's unseen "switches"?A. They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.B. They enable us to alter the course of the universe.C. They give us information about the lunar surface.D. They determine which course the universe will take in the future.18. In the second paragraph, the word "track" could hest be replaced by which of the following?A. BandB. RailsC. PathD. Sequence19. For whom is the author probably writing this passage?A. Train engineers.B. General audiences.C. Professors of statistics.D. Young children.20. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?A. A statement illustrated by an analogy (类比).B. A hypothesis supported by documentation (引用文献).C. A comparison of two contrasting theories.D. A critical analysis of a common assumption.PartⅡ Vocabulary and Structure(20﹪，25minutes)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
