Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneThere were many thefts in a big city, which made the residents complain much about the government. Therefore, the police were ordered to find out the thief within a week. With great efforts, at last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him－from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat－he suddenly attacked the policemen and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away. All of them felt at a loss what to do.Then a week later the telephone rang in the polic e station and somebody said, “You are looking for Bill Cross, aren’t you?” “Yes.” “Well, he left here for Waterbridge an hour ago.” Waterbridge was a small town about 100 miles from the city. The city police at onc e sent four different photographs of the thief to the police in Waterbridge. Less than twelve hours later they got a telephone call from the police in Waterbridge. “We have caught three of the men,” they said happily, “and we will catch the forth this evening, we think.”26. How many kinds of photographs did the police take of the thief?27. When was the police station informed of the trace of the thief after he escaped?28. What is true of the police in Waterbridge according to the passage?Passage TwoAlmost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings --- battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed --- took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course,advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.29. How was news sent in the past?30. How long did news travel from one country to another five hundred years ago?31. Why is newspaper sold at a low price?32. Why are newspapers so popular?Passage ThreeBanking began thousands of years ago in very early civilizations. The first bankers were money changers. They took foreign money from travelers and gave them local coins. They carried the money in special boxes called strong boxes to protect it from robbers. Later, people brought their money to money changers for protection. Finally, money changers loaned money to people and charged them interest. The early Italian bankers worked outdoors on the street. They used a bench for their place of business. In fact, the modern word “bank” comes from an Italian word meaning bench. By the 16th century banks were popular everywhere in Europe. They were family business. Kings and other rich people borrowed money from bankers. In the following century, British bankers were the first people to make paper money. They gave their customers paper notes in exchange for their gold and silver. People liked the paper bank notes because they were easy to carry. After a while, everyone accepted bank notes as money. The first successful bank in the United States opened in Philadelphia in 1792. Today there are about 14,000 bankers in the United States.33. What was the original meaning of the word “bank”?34. When were banks popular everywhere in Europe?35. Why did British people like the paper bank notes?36. How many bankers are there in the United States today?Section DDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In the planned-economy era, college students did not have to worry about their tuition because the government bore most of the cost. Now with the (37) growth of educational costs, including teachers’ salaries, equipment and campus construction, the (38) average cost of training a college student has reached (39) 15,000 yuan according to statistics from the Education Department. In theory, tuition fees today do not (40) cover the basic educational cost of each college student. “But increasing tuition fees is not an (41) endless process－when the fee finally gets close to the basic educational cost, it will stop (42) increasing ,” Tang said. China is a populous country and it has not been easy to develop (43) an education system because economic development is still comparatively low . High tuition fees (44) reflect that the whole society is going through a period of transition. “ (45) Encouraging students to get loans in a competitive way and cultivating their sense of social responsibilities,” Zhang said. “The whole of society shoul d (46) be motivated to develop education .”。
