Part I Reading Comprehension （30 %）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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA well-balanced life is necessary to live in today's world. Without a well-balanced life a person can neither function properly nor develop into a well-rounded individual. Without some sort of balance in life people tend to be unfulfilled and unhappy.76) I've experienced great stress in my study and work. And I've tried every means to adjust myself and relieve my stress. Finally I found a way out in my leisure time. Leisure time is very important and necessary for me. Without it I am sure I would go insane. I spend most of my extra time reading, listening to music, talking to my real life friends, or talking on the Internet with people I meet. I really enjoy going out into a quiet place and reading poetry or books by Walt Whitman and Robert Frost. If I did not make time for all of this I would not be able to handle everything else in life. Along with reading to relax, listening to music is very important to me.77) If I feel sad, I listen to slow songs, while if I am happy I like listening to fast songs. Music is the universal language and it can express different feelings. It can relate to the soul, or in fact I think it is the soul of feelings.My real life friends and my Internet friends are also part of my leisure and social time. Friends have always been important to me. They are the backbone in everything I do. The good friends that I have are always there for me in everysituation I am in. Without them I would not have led a healthy, balanced life. Not so long ago I went through a short time of depression. I fell behind in all my work and stopped talking to my friends. After a week of acting this way, one of my good friends pulled me aside and invited me to go for a walk with her. We talked about what was going on in my life and she helped me to figure out what I wanted to do.I do not know what would have happened if she had not been there.Many things add to having a well-balanced life. Stress can be a very dangerous and tiresome experience. It can lead to depression and unhappiness. But when it happens, you can do something other than wait, like talking to your friends or listening to music. Then you may not think you should have been so stressed and depressed.A well-balanced life is important to maintain. Without some sort of balance it is hard to get by in everyday life. And the creative use of leisure time plays a vital role.1. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage? DA. A well balanced life is not easy to have in today’s world.B. She has experienced great stress in her study and work.C. Satisfying work is crucial to having a well-balanced life.D. Leisure time plays a vital role in maintaining a well-balanced life.2. What does the author mean by saying “finally I found a way out in my leisuretime”? AA. She found leisure time could help relieve her stress and maintain awell-balanced life.B. She found a way to enjoy herself in her leisure time.C. She got to know how to spend her leisure time.D. She came to understand what “a well-balanced life” means.3. When does the author listen to slow music?CA. When she is happy.B. When she is lonely.C. When she is sad.D. When she is trying to work.4. How important are good friends to the author?AA. They usually help her lift the physical burden with their strong backbone.B. They support her in everything she does and help her in every situation she isin.C. They often pull her aside and invite her to go for a walk.D. They will do everything that she wants them to do.5. What main suggestion does the author give us in the passage on how to relieve stress?DA. Talking to friends.B. Listening to musicC. Reading poetry.D. Pursuing some leisure activities.Passage TwoAs a resource, the World Wide Web (Web) contains huge amounts of information. The Web is extensive, relatively easy to access, and provides virtually unlimited information. An excellent resource to gain knowledge, the Web is leading the "information revolution". It has made a huge difference in the world, and will continue to do so. When you need current information and you need it now, there is no alternative.Over the past 12 years I have been involved in technology research. Originally, I obtained software information from printed reference materials and then from CDs. The advent of the Web as a research tool has greatly expanded the availability of information while reducing the amount of time needed on each task.The majority of my time on the Web involves looking up technical computer information, which I use for teaching Microsoft applications classes and providing technical advice at work. Outside of work, I really like following all aspects of the financial world, and the Web has turned into a great resource for this hobby.I can't imagine being without it. Although it takes time to sift through the multitude of sources, I find that after years of use I can quickly analyze the search results to find the most appropriate site. The amount of information on the Web is staggering, so it is important to remember what it is you are searching for and not get sidetracked.The Web is a wonderful resource when you can substantiate that the information provided is accurate and true. Like any other resource, the Web has good and not so good information to share. Depending on what you are looking for, you have to judge for yourself how relevant the material is for you. It is important not to believe everything you read and to attempt to stay away from personal sites, and I try to know who is responsible for the site before treating the information as fact. The more you use the Web, the more comfortable you get, and the more likely you are to use it even more. The Web certainly helps save time and allows you to focus resources in doing research and seeking out useful information.Overall, the Web has given me the opportunity to be many more times effective at obtaining data. If I find material but do not have time to read it, I print it out and read it later or on the commuter train. 78) In addition, as I find things of interest, it takes only a few seconds to share that information with my team members and other professional associates. This enhances my networking capability to be intouch with many people with the same interest looking at a particular subject.The Web provides an excellent way to find information fast. It enables users to find research as it is occurring, rather than waiting for it to be published. It also provides a highly collaborative environment in which it is quick and easy to exchange ideas with colleagues.The Web is an excellent way to acquire knowledge quickly and easily, visit company websites, e-mail any questions you might have, research topics, conduct surveys, participate in special interest discussions, and gather information for further analysis without having to be physically present.6. How good a resource is the web in the author’s opinion?A. It’s quick, easy to access, and full of useful information.B. It’s only useful when it’s very easy to substantiate the data.C. It’s mainly useful for researching new or unfamiliar topics.D. It’s only if you can avoid all the distracting websites.7. Which of the following does the author NOT say he does on the web?A. looks up technical computer information.B. frequently enjoys music and movies.C. follows all aspects of the financial world.D. uses email, and gather a lot of data.8. What does the author do with the information he has found on the web when he’s in a hurry to leave the office?A. He emails it to his home computer.B. He stays in the office until he analyzes it.C. He prints it out and reads it later or on the commuter train.D. He sends personal notes about it to his colleagues.9. How has the web changed the author’s access to information?A. there’s no major change in his approach.B. he finds new information much more quickly and easily.C. he finds many kinds of information more quickly and easily.D. he finds most kinds of information more quickly and easily.10. How regularly does the author use the web as a research tool?A. He only starts his research using the web.B. He usually finishes his research using the web.C. He does most of his research using the web.D. He only uses the web to substantiate data from other sources.Passage ThreeIn addition to his theory of colour, Newton developed a theory of how light travels.This is known as the corpuscular theory of light(光的微粒理论，亦称牛顿的光学理论)，meaning that light travels as a series of tiny bits rather than in continuing waves. Newton sent his writings about light to the Royal Society, where they were given to a committee led by Hooke. Since the corpuscular theory was different from his own theory. Hooke attacked the paper. Soon others started to argue, and Hooke was supported by a scientist from Holland, Christian Huygens. At one time, Newton was so unhappy with the whole affair that he decided never again to publish any of his work.79) The bitter argument continued over the years that followed. At first, Hooke and Huyens received most of the support. Later, after Newton had changed his mind and let his work on gravity be published, he became so famous, that things changed. Now people believed Newton could do nothing wrong, and for a hundred years they followed his theory.Then, in the early part of the 19th century, the experiments of a French scientist, Augustin Fresnel, showed that light could be explained best by a wave theory. So the scientists changed sides again, saying that Newton’s ideas had delayed scientific progress for a hundred years.Strangely enough, the presently accepted theory of light combines some of the ideas of both theories. This is known as the quantum theory and results from the work of such 20th century scientists as Albert Einstein and Max Planck. The quantum theory assumes that light is given off as separate “packages”of energy.80)These “packages”of light, or quanta of energy, as they are called, are given off at such a rapid rate that there is no great gap between them.The quantum theory seems to explain the actions of light better than either of the two earlier theories. However, for many purposes, the wave theory is good enough. So it is used most often to explain light. But who is to say that new experiments and other scientists of our own time or in the future may not provide an even better theory? There is certainly still much work to be done with light and color.11. From this passage it seems that Newton was a scientist with_B__.A. only one important theoryB. two theoriesC. at least three theoriesD. very many theories12. The corpuscular theory of light __C__.A. was never accepted by the Royal SocietyB. was in the end accepted by Hooke and HuygensC. was rejected by Hooke and Huyens but immediately accepted by otherscientists for the next hundred yearsD. was the most popular theory during the eighteenth century13. The scientists who said that Newton’s ideas had delayed scientific progress fora hundred years were __A___.A. right, because Fresnels wave theory disproved Newton’s corpuscular theoryB. wrong, because Fresnels theory has in turn been disprovedC. right, because the quantum theory supports the wave theoryD. wrong, because the quantum theory makes use of some of Newton’s ideas14. The quantum theory seems to be nearest in idea to that of __B__.A. Hooke and HuygenB. Fresnel and Newton combinedC. NewtonD. Fresnel15. The evidence of this passage suggests that_A___.A. there would be no progress in our knowledge of light unless we questioned accepted theoriesB. the presently accepted theory of light will very soon be replacedC. scientists do not know enough to be able to explain the theory of lightD. scientists change their opinions too oftenPart II Vocabulary and Structure （30 %）Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
