We are hurrying here and there. The pressure of time characterizes life today. People like living at a breakneck speed. Fast-food restaurants, one minute bedtime stories, microwave ovens, quick freezers, instant noodles, automatic dial buttons on the telephone, the remote control of a television, emails, the Internet, all these have caused a speed-up in the pace of people’s life. These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once, if you dare. Not long ago, for most people, listening to the radio was a single-task activity. Now it is rare for a person to listen to the radio and do nothing else. Even television has lost its command of our attention. In so many houses the TV just stays on, like a noisy light, while the life of the busy family passes back and forth in front of it.In the technology-driven Western world, the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring a sense of tension about time. People believe that they have little time. They wish they had 48 hours a day. American culture views time as a thing to be kept and saved. Timesaving is a subject often talked about and discussed. Books with such titles as Streamlining Your Life; Take Your Time; More Hours in My Day are always best sellers. People have talked and wanted many ways to ―save time‖. But what does this concept mean? Does timesaving mean getting more done? If so, does talking on a mobile phone at the beach save time or waste it? If you can choose between a 30 minute train ride, during which you can read and a 20 minute drive, during which you cannot read, does this drive save ten minutes? Does it make sense to say driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget while removing ten minutes from your reading budget?These questions have no answer. They depend on a concept that is ill formed; the very idea of timesaving. Some of us say we want to save time when really we just want to do more and faster. It might be simplest to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to spend it, how to spare it, how to use it and how to fill it.Time is not a thing we have lost. It is not a thing we ever had. It is what we live in.1. According to the passage, what characterizes life today is that we __D____.a. are all in a rushb. live at a breakneck speedc. save a lot of timed. feel time is pressing2. In the sentence, ―These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once…‖the phrase ―all at once‖means all __B____.a. immediatelyb. at the same timec. quicklyd. instantly3. The author believes that the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring asense of tension __A____.a. about timeb. among peoplec. with more things to dod. both A and B4. The author __C____ the American idea that time is a thing that can be kept and saved.a. believes inb. does not believec. is doubtful aboutd. is certain about5. The best title for this passage is __A____.a. Can We Save Time?b. What is Time?c. The Idea of Timesavingd. The Importance of TimesavingPassage TwoIn the United States, 30 percent of the grown-up population has a ―weight problem‖. To many people, the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch television.Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicine found the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost. The more he ran, the greater was his need for food. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.6. What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have?Ca. They are too thin.b. They work too hard.c. They are too fat.d. They lose too much body fat.7. Based on the information given in this article, suppose there are 500 grown-up Americans, about how many of them have a weight problem?Da. 30b. 50c. 100d. 1508. Are there scientific facts to support that eating too much is the cause of the ―weight problem‖?Ca. Yes, there are plenty of them.b. Of course, there are facts to show this is true.c. There are hardly any scientific facts to support this.d. We don’t know because the information is not given.9. Compared with the grown-up Americans today, the Americans of 1910 __A____.a. ate more food and had more physical activitiesb. ate less food but had more activitiesc. ate less food and had less physical activitiesd. had more weight problems10. What have some modern medical and scientific researchers reported to us?Aa. Fat people eat less food and are less active.b. Fat people eat more food and are more active.c. Fat people eat more food but are less active.d. Thin people run less but eat more food.Passage ThreeSome people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea –they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.11. According to the passage, bicycles _D_____.a. are more convenient than carsb. are safer traffic tools than carsc. are ridden by most people in the U.S.d. are the solution to some city problems12. The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by __B____.a. the city governmentb. some bike ridersc. people living far from downtownd. some store owners13. ―Bicycle lanes‖ in the third paragraph probably means __C____.a. narrow passages between buildings for bicyclesb. roads full of bicyclesc. special parts of the road for bicycle riders onlyd. roads for bicycles only14. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?Da. Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.b. Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes.c. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekends.d. In New York City, many people use bikes as they have special lanes.15. The best title for this passage is ___D___.a. Traffic Crowding in New York Cityb. Air Pollution in New York City by Cars.c. Special Lanes for Passengersd. A Solution to Traffic Problem in New YorkPassage FourWork is a very important part of life in the United States. Americans spend most of their lives working. For most Americans, their work defines them: they are what they do. What happens, then, when a person can no longer work?Most Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of course, some people are happy to retire, but leaving one’s job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Retirement can also bring financial problems. Many people depend on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income, Their checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation is forcing prices higher each year; Social Security checks alone cannot cover these growing expense. The government offers some assistance, but many senior citizens have to change the life-styles after retirement. They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel, and other necessities.Of course, Many senior citizens are happy with their retirement. They have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part time; others do volunteer work. Some, like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even help young people to get started in new businesses. Many retired citizens also belong to ―Golden Age‖ groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are many other opportunities for retirees.16. What is the best title for this passage?Da.―Golden Age‖Groupsb. The American Opinion of workc. The Importance of Work in Americad. The Problems of Retirement in America17. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the retirees?Da. Some retirees feel happy as they can have more time to enjoy themselves.b. Some retirees have to be careful with their money because of the rising prices.c. Some retirees like to work without being paid.d. Some retirees find work in new businesses.18. It can be inferred from the passage that A .a. the Americans show their value through their workb. the Americans government pays little attention to the life of the retireesc. the retirees’ former employers offer some assistance to the retireesd. the Americans can not find much time to travel before their retirement19. Where did this passage most probably appear?Ba. On the front page of a daily newspaper.b. In a weekly news magazine with a general readership.c. In a specialized magazine for moral philosophers.d. In a specialized magazine for Social Security office.20. What dose the paragraph following the passage most likely discuss?Da. An explanation of why the retirees feel lost.b. The difficult situation the retirees have.c. A different opinion of the physical and emotional needs of the retirees.d. A description of other activities the retirees can have.Part V ClozeThe wheel was one of man’s first inventions and yet it has also proved one of the most useful. 1 wide and varied are the uses of wheel, in machines and vehicles of all kinds, that it is very difficult to imagine 2 the world would be like without them.

According to a recent survey, more than 90 percent of those who were questioned admitted to having been tricked into purchasing fake products. Now it seems almost impossible to find one who would say he has never been influenced by bad products.This phenomenon is due to several factors. First, some manufacturers are money-oriented. To their mind, producing fake products is a short-cut toward getting rich. Second, some consumers are under the illusion that inferior goods can be used equally but they are much cheaper. A third contributing cause is the law, much of which cannot punish severely those who manufacture fake products. All this contributes to the wide spread of fake products.Now it is time something was done to get rid of fake products before they dominate our market. On the one hand, law must be made and enforced to punish those who produce and sell fake goods and reward those who fight against them. On the other hand, education must be implemented and strengthened to enhance people’s awareness of the harmfulness of fake products. Only when every citizen in our country takes effective action to combat fake products shall we expect to see a healthy development of economy and a drastic increase in people’s living standard.套路二：1．优点2．缺点3．观点作文：Positive and Negative Aspects of Motorcycles Motorcycles enjoy some advantages which other transport means do not have. Above all, they are faster than ordinary bicycles, thus saving time and energy. Moreover, they are smaller than cars in size so that they are less likely to be caught in traffic jams which are a big headache to every urban resident. Last but not the least, they are much cheaper in price and maintenance than cars, though more expensive than bicycles. In conclusion, the motor bicycle offers a good choice between bicycles and cars.However, the disadvantages of motor bicycles cannot be ignored. The biggest problem is the serious pollution. Studies have proved that a motor bicycle sends offmore waste gas to the air than a car does. Besides, the noise they produce is intolerable. And it should be pointed out that they have more chance of causing traffic accidents, thus reducing their safety. Needless to say, they are less comfortable to ride, especially in bad weather.It can be safely predicted that more people will buy motor bicycles as their living standard rises. But this trend will not persist very long, especially in some big cities, for the municipal governments have limited their number in urban areas, and some cities claim to ban motor bicycles from entering the center of the city. And as people’s demand for quality life rises, a boom of car consumption will arrive. In a word, motor bicycles will be mainly in rural areas.Key to OnePart I Structure1-5 ccdcb 6-10 adbbc 11-15 acabc 16-20 bbcac 21-25 adaba 26-30 aadad Part II Vocabulary1-5 aacbd 6-10 abbac 11-15 cdbbd 16-20 acccd 21-25 bdcba 26-30 abbcb Part III Use of English1-5 cbdca 6-10 bccbcPart IV Reading Comprehension1-5 dbaca 6-10 cdcaa 11-15 dbcdd 16-20 ddabdPart V Cloze1-5 bcada 6-10 cbadbPart VI Translation1. 我们决不辜负我们的父母对我们的期望.2. 毫无疑问, 电视是信息交流的重要工具.3. 难怪他不饿，他整天在吃糖果.4. 请向您父母转达我最诚挚的祝愿.5. 那只小船一点也不安全.6. 由于战争，他们失去了一个幸福的童年时代.Part VII Sample Writing。
