You are required to choose the best answer from the four choices.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centerQuestions16-20are based on the following passage.I heard many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling.I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teen-agers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.(86)Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up huddled round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoons(茧)and entered a larger one.(87)It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry has firmly carved out a teen-age market.These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be.And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates.Well,go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come with the only kind of popularity that really counts.16.In the passage,the author wants to tell________A.readers how to be popular with people aroundB.people how to understand and respect each otherC.parents how to control and guide their childrenD.teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselves17.According to the author,many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but,infact,most of them______.A.are too young to do soB.are much afraid of getting lostC.dare not cope with problems single-handedD.have much difficulty understanding each other18.Which of the following is NOT true?A.There is no popularity that really counts.B.It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.C.What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.D.Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to,but they are actually doing the same.19.What does the author think of advertisement?A.Convincing.B.Influential.C.Instructive.D.Authoritative.20.During the teen-age years,one should learn to________A.find one’s real selfB.get into the right reason and become popularC.differ from others in as many ways as possibleD.rebel against parents and the popularity waveQuestions21-25are based on the following passage.In order to learn a foreign language well,it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes.If the primary goal of language use is communication,the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases.On the other hand,students should not ignore their mistakes.(88)The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves,and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them.For example,a Spanish speaker who has been saying“1do it”to express willingness to do something in the immediate future,could,by interacting with native speakers of English,observe that native speakers actually say“I’ll do it”.The resulting discrepancy can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English.But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.21.According to the passage,foreign language students should not worry too muchabout making mistakes because________A.native speakers will ignore their mistakesmunication is the primary goal of language learningC.native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageD.everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language22.The passage indicates that the present tense in English is_________A.basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB.not the most difficult problem for foreign studentsC.not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureed with some verbs but not with others to express future intention23.The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by _____A.asking native speakers for explanationsB.reading good books in the foreign languageC.speaking without regard to native speakersparing their speech with that of native speakers24.The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers willnot___.A.have to worry about making mistakesB.learn very much about the foreign cultureC.learn about the history of the foreign languageD.take advantage of available language models25.The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that.A.mistakes do not interfere with communicationB.learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC.mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageD.making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageQuestions26-30are based on the following passageDuring a state of deep relaxation,several physiological changes take place in the body:the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced;the heart beat decreases;muscle tension and sweating ease,and there is decreased sympathetic(交感的)nervous system activity.This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself,but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.How to achieve this state of relaxation,however,is a matter of opinion,and in some medical circles,a matter of controversy.A recent report by Dr.David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal“American psychologist”said that simple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation()does.Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree.These experts believe that more structured techniques,such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.(89)The debate goes on.but one thins appears to be clear:the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods,and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day,one method may work best;on another day,an alternative method may be more appropriate.Once you are aware of all the methods,you can find the one that works best for you.Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation,autoanalysis(自我心理分析)and progressive muscle relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair,they have the added benefit of structure and discipline,and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.26.The passage indicates that a state of deep relaxation is not only good for one’s body,but alsobeneficial to________A.heart beatB.consciousnessC.muscle tensionD.sympathetic nervous system27.People seem to agree that________A.sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation doesB.what people are struggling for is a state of deep relaxationC.to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various meansD.structured consciousness relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person28.In the third paragraph,the phrase?°getting there?±most probably meansA.arriving at one’s destinationB.getting what one wants mostC.reaching a state of deep relaxationD.finding out a suitable relaxation technique29.As far as relaxation is concerned,the author indicates that?a_____A.aims are more important than meansB.means are more important than aimsC.some relaxation techniques are better than othersD.more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques30.The author’s attitude toward relaxation is best described asA.criticalB.objectiveC.optimisticD.subjectiveQuestions31-35are based on the following passage.I am not a computer expert.1never learned much in the way of math.And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.Then why am I able to write about computers?I can write on this subject because of these shortcomings.The last two years of learning has been a severe test for me.By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well,and to work with people who know a great deal more than I.Since I have learned all this at such personal cost,I would like to share my knowledge with others.The best way to learn is to take a course.However,many people do not have the time for this. They will have to find some other way to get basic information.I hope to be able to help them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.I have a home computer on which I have learned in my own time.I have used it like a home study course.I have sat down with it day after day,night after night,I have forced it to give up some of its secrets.Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for.And I can do this work in my own home,instead of in an office.Many people may soon be working on a computer at home,just as many now take in other people’s typing.Some things about computers are easier than you may fear.First,computers are logical. Things that at first seem difficult will make sense to you after you learn the rules.Second,it is really not hard to learn enough to use today’s machines.You do not need to be a great brain.But you do have to learn to think in new ways.And you do have to keep a good bit of information in your head.(90)Finally,there are many people around who are really enthusiastic about computers. These people are always happy to be of help.31.According to the passage,computers can best be described as________A.difficultB.puzzlingC.logicalD.secret32.It can be inferred that the author had to_______in order to write about computers.A.Learn electronicsB.study very hardC.learn from other peopleD.take a home study course33.The phrase?°a great brain?±in the last paragraph most probably meansA.a great manB.a person with a big headC.a remarkable successD.an intelligent person34.It is implied that the author________A.has got a great deal of help from othersB.has known a lot of things about computersC.has got enough knowledge about science and mathD.has known more about computers than her colleagues35.The main idea of the last paragraph is that to learn to use a computerA.must take enough courseB.should be with a clever brainC.is not so difficult as one thinksD.is hard to think in new waysPart Ill Vocabulary and Structure(20minutes15%)Directions:In this part there are30incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You are required to choose the one that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center36.Marry________be in Beijing because I saw her in town just a few minutes ago.A.can’tB.shouldn’tC.mustn’tD.may not37.I haven’t got much money on me,but I gave them________I had.A.whatB.thatC.whichD.those38.It seldom rains heavily in our region nowadays,________?A.does itB.isn’tC.doesn’t itD.will it39._________or not,you are going to face him one day.A.If you like itB.Whether you like itC.However you like it.D.Whether do you like it40.Even Charles,_____，couldn’t move the piano a bit.A.as he is strongB.strong as is heC.as strong he isD.strong as he is41.Shanghai has a larger population than________in China.A.any other cityB.all the citiesC.every cityD.any cities42._________that the early men feared it and worshipped it.A.So great the power of fire wasB.So great was the power of fireC.So great the power was of fireD.So was the power of fire great43.The way she talks is simply intolerable.He objects_________like a child.A.to be treatedB.to treatC.to being treatedD.to treating44.The hopes,goals,fears and desires________widely between men and women,between the rich and the poor.A.alterB.shiftC.transferD.vary45.Some diseases are_________by certain water animals.A.transplantedB.transformedC.transportedD.transmitted46.It is our_________policy that we will achieve unity through peaceful means.A.consistentB.continuousC.considerateD.continual47.In Britain people________four million tons of potatoes every year.A.swallowB.disposeC.consumeD.exhaust48.The manager lost his_________just because his secretary was ten minutes late.A.moodB.temperC.mindD.passion49.Please be careful when you are drinking coffee in case you________the new carpet.A.crashB.polluteC.spotD.stain50.Although they plant trees in this area every year,the tops of some hills are stillA.blankB.hollowC.vacantD.bare51.They are twins and look very________.It is not easy to tell one from the other.A.same B;alike C.like D.likely52.People living in that busy street complain of the traffic noises which________them at night.A.disturbB.preventC.annoyD.interfere53.I warned him time and again not to lounge about()all day long,but he took no_______ of it.A.concernB.noticeC.attentionD.regard54.Without my glasses,I can’t hardly________what has been written in the letter.A.make forB.make outC.make upD.make over55.He was born in Japan but was________in China by an old couple.A.brought outB.brought upC.brought inD.brought through56.He had deceived a great many people but the young woman________him at first sight.A.saw intoB.looked intoC.saw throughD.looked through57.Hospital doctors don’t go out very often as their work________all their time.A.takes awayB.takes overC.takes inD.takes up58.Can you give me a light for my cigarette?I have________my matches.A.got out ofB.got rid ofC.got away withD.run out of59.His lectures_________a fairly wide scope and I can’t sum up what he says in a few sentences.A.coverB.conveyC.considerD.specify60.The novel ended happily,and the young couple were married in the________A.finalB.closingC.endD.conclusion61.There was a heavy fog,and the two ships on the horizon were barely________-.A.sensibleB.passableC.visibleD.variable62.1was almost totally at a loss,but then an idea suddenly________to me.A.occurredB.happenedC.appearedD.started\63.There is no________in going to the cinema now as the film has already started.A.reasonB.causeC.motiveD.point64.The landlady told him to leave because he hadn’t paid his_________A.billB.feeC.fareD.rent65.It is difficult to express it in________of science.A.wordsB.termsC.expressionsD.vocabularyPart IV Cloze(15minutes10%)Directions:In this part there is a passage with20blanks in ii.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You are required to choose the best answer from the four choices.
