Part I Reading comprehension(40%, 35 minutes)
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage
Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and the cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People, when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.
1. If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?
A. They feel afraid. B. They breathe faster.
C. Their blood pressure rises. D. Their hearts beat faster.
2. Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in marketing ______.
A. by experimenting with different colors
B. by developing the discipline of color psychology
C. by trying not to make mistakes
D. by accumulating their various experiences
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.
B. Food should never be packaged in brown.
C. Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.
D. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.
4. Our preferences for certain colors are __.
A. dependent on our character
B. linked with our primitive men
C. associated with psychology
D. associated with the time of day
5. The passage is about _____.
A. color and traffic accidents
B. color and manufacturers.
C. which color might influence human feelings
D. why color affects human emotions and behavior.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage
Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman(1963)calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals---“I know you”. “I am interested in you.” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
6.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .
A.every glance has its significance
B.staring at a person is an expression of interest
C.a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D.a glance conveys more meaning than words
7.If you want to be left alone on an elevator the best thing to do is
A.to look into another passenger’s eyes
B.to avoid eye contacts with other passengers
C.to signal you are not a threat to anyone
D.to keep a distance from other passengers
8.By “a dimming of the lights”(line 10, Para 1), Erving Goffman means “ ”.
A.closing one’s eyes
B.turning off the lights
C.ceasing to glance at others
D.reducing gaze-time to the minimum.
9.If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ______.
A. depressed B. curious C. uneasy D. amused
10.The passage mainly discusses .
A.the limitations of eye contacts
B.the exchange of ideas through eye contacts
C.proper behavior in various situations
D.the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage
Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.
The sport, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s(the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). Originally a European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists' Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.
The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flights of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.
There is a massed start with the field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course.
11. What does the word “dismount” in paragraph one mean?
A. Give up B. Give in C. Get out D. Get off
12. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about cyclo-cross?
A. The cyclists sometimes have to carry the bicycles instead of riding them.
B. The riders in the race are arranged side by side in two lines.
C. All the riders start simultaneously on the staring line.
D. The riders are allowed to change their machines.
13. Cyclo-cross became widely known _____.
A. in the 1920s B. in the 1950s C. in 1925 D. in 1967
14. According to the passage, cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March because ______.
A. the winter is westerners’ favorite season
B. winter can offer cyclists more risk and danger
C. the winter weather is more agreeable
D. in winter the riders needn’t dismount and carry their bicycle
15. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?
A. The riders are competitive and fond of taking risks.
B. People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.
C. Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.
D. helpers are often hired by the riders.
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds -- even thousands -- of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.
The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the Unites States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea -- mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
16. When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?
A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.
B. When it hits the coastline.
C. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more
D. When the circling winds bring dangers.
17. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?
A. The destructive effects of water.
B. The heat they release.
C. That they last about nine days on the average.
D. Their strong winds.
18. The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by ______.
A. the low-pressure area in the center of the storm
B. the force of waves of water
C. the trade winds
D. the increasing heat
19. Apparently the phrase “innocent circling disturbances” in paragraph 2 means _______.
A. disturbances caused by innocent people
B. disturbances people are innocent of
C. damaging circling winds
D. harmless circling winds
20. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. The Hurricane—Its Harms and Benefits.
B. The Benefits of Hurricanes.
C. The Hurricane and Its great Energy.
D. The Disaster Caused by Hurricanes.

Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.
Vegetable gardening agree that many home-grown vegetable are superior to those purchased from markets. Form spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.
Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Passage Two
Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage
In old days ,when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office ,secretaries were men .
Then came the First Word War and the male secretaries were replaced by women .A man’s secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife’s birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to ;and ,of course ,typing and filing and taking shorthand.
Now all this may be changing again .The microchip(芯片)and high technology is sweeping the British office ,taking with it much of the routine clerical (文書)work that secretaries did .
“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again.”
That was said by one of the executives.(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country .What he has predicted is already under way in the U.S.
Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的),will there be a male takeover ?Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs .There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they –not just because they can buy negligees(婦女長睡衣)for the boss’s wife ,but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computer as men .
6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they____.

10. The writer believes that before long _______.
A. both men and women can act as secretaries

Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage :
Humanity is a new experiment on plant Earth .For most of its history, life on Earth was
Restricted to the sea .Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago ,
And humans have existed for no more than 3 million years .
Ones way to represent the evolution of life is to computer the 4.6-billion –year history of earth into a 1-year –long film. In such a film Earth forms as the films begins on January 1,and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (變成坑狀) and the first oceans form .But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April ,when the first living things develop.
The 4-billion –year history of Precambrian (前寒武紀) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November ,when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites(三葉蟲).
If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals(哺乳動物) and birds flourish.
Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31,vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:54 pm. The Christmas era begin only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.
11.In comparing all of Earth’s geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows______.
A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the scene
B. just simple it is to understand the history of Earth
C. just how early humanity appears on planet Earth
D. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth
12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms_____.
A. in the middle of December
B. when Earth is cratered
C. at the beginning of November
D. when the land is still a lifeless waste
13. It is indicated in the passage that_________.
A. Earth is cool at first
B. Earth is hot at the beginning
C. there are oceans at the beginning
D. there is life in the ocean in late February
14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs__________.
A. die out on December 25 B. appear after December 25
C. die out on December 24 D. appear on December 24
15. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signed_________.
A. a long time before the New Year
B. immediately after the New Year’s Day
C. just one second before the New Year
D. right on the New Year’s Day
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage :
Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (經濟蕭條),when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing(瀏覽) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes and then waiting for replies .It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger .Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many ,Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person .
In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000hiring managers by an online résumé site ,72% said that a majority of the résumé they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description.
“The more unrelated résumé managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position ,”points out Challenger .”One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers .This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview .”
“All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco ,for example ,to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.”
“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool ,rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic resumes.” Concludes Challenger.

A. longer waiting time for the unemployed

Part 1 reading comprehension(共20小題,每小題2分,共40分)
Passage one
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During World War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their rage of flight, in other words). The device was called radio directing and ranging device, and from the initials the world radar was coined.
1. Sound waves reflected form a hill can be used to estimate the ______.
A. height of the hill B. speed of sound
C. distance to the hill D. intensity of sound
2. Practical application of this principle resulted in______.
A. new electronic instruments for planes B. a radio directing and raging device
C. new radio sets for RAF bombers D. an electronic detecting device
3. Radar enables the English to ______.
A. detect German planes on their way to London
B. direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively
C. confuse German bomber pilots
D. both A and B
4. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. light waves could be used in a device similar to radar
B. radar was a practical of a well-known principle
C. radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air Force
D. sound waves are reflected form a hillside under all conditions
5. The author of the passage probably intended to explain______.
A. exactly how radar works
B. why the British used radio waves in their device
C. how radar (work and device) came to be
D. how radar helped the British win the Battle of Britain.
Passage two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
In general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry(三角學), and they applied their knowledge to the construction of the bridges, road, aqueducts(渠道),and public buildings.
They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.
While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.
There were two reasons for the Roman neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of the arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.
6. The author calls the Romans “practical” because they______.
A. cared little about philosophy
B. applied their knowledge to construction
C. saw the necessity for developing theoretical science
D. studied the past and learned from it
7. The ancient Romans did not concern themselves with ______.
A. theoretical or abstract thought
B. applied mathematics
C. studying
D. either A or C
8. In construction, the Romans made extensive use of ______.
A. iron ore B. geometry and trigonometry
C. Greek mathematics thought D. both B and C
9. Many roman inventions were based on Greek weapons because the______.
A. Greek had superior weapons
B. Romans were involved in frequent wars
C. not familiar with many types of weapons
D. Greeks proved themselves inspired inventors
10. The author of this passage probably wanted to explain why______.
A. he considered the Romans a practical people
B. Romans architects and engineers were the best in ancient times
C. theoretical thinking is necessary for the growth of a nation
D. the Romans contributed little to philosophical thought
Passage three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Professor Barry Wellman of the university of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many north Americans interact these days. The term is “networked individualism.” This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what professor Wellman means. Before the inventions of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet And American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person to person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past , many people were worried that the internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, “networked individuals” are able to be alone and together with other people---at the same time!
11. The pew study was conducted in ______.
A. the United States B. Canada
C. the U.S. and Canada D. Europe
12. In this article, a network is a group of connected______.
A. radio or TV station B. people
C. computers D. roads
13. Before the invention of the Internet, our connections with people took place mainly ______.
A. in person B. by phone
C. by letter D. by e-mail
14. Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet and email?
A. People are talking on the phone more than ever.
B. Interaction through the computer has replaced a lot of person to person interaction.
C. American are turning into hermits.
D. 60 million Americans have bought computers.
15. Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of the Pew study?
A. The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.
B. People used the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and other questions.
C. For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important decisions.
D. “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers.
Passage four
(非英語類學生必做,16-20小題)
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However this summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18 foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remembered that on my cruise, I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.

(英語類學生必做,16-20題)
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
The three main types of secondary education in the United States have been provided by the Latin grammar school, the academy, and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston free Latin school. The curriculum consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.
The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia, which later became the university of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle of the nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued a principal means of secondary education even after 1900. The academy was open to girls as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values were evident and are recognized an important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy was never considered public institution as the public high school has come to be.
The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English classical school was established in Boston. In 1827 that state enacted the first state-wide public high school law in the United States. By 1840, there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states; by 1850, they were also to be found in many other states.
Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, so the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a rejection of the aristocratic and selective principle of European educational tradition. Since 1890, enrollments in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.
16.According to the author, the main types of secondary education in the United State have been provided by______.
A. new England establishment
B. the Latin grammar school and the academy
C. the public high school
D. both B and C
17. According to the passage, which of the following sequence indicates the order in which the school developed?
A. Latin grammar school, public high school, academy
B. Latin grammar school, academy, public high school
C. public high school, Latin grammar school, academy
D. public high school, academy, Latin grammar school,
18. Since 1890, secondary school enrollments have______.
A. almost doubled every ten years
B. practically doubled
C. declined in enrollment
D. increased ten fold
19. In the southern states, the principal means of secondary education even after 1900 continued to be the ____.
A. Latin grammar school
B. academy
C. classical language school
D. church school
20. One can properly infer from the article that “ Latin grammar school” refers to______.
A. the Boston free Latin school
B. all elementary schools in the United States
C. schools which taught Latin exclusive of all other subjects
D. a number of grammar schools which developed in new England.

My friend helped me 68 at the hotel and then left because he had to go 69 to work. He promised to return the next day.
Shortly after he left, I went to a 70 near the hotel to get something to eat. As I couldn’t speak 71 of English, I couldn’t tell the 72 what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t 73 me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway 74 I came to Times Square with its movie theaters, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I 75 walking around the city.

(英語類學生必做,61-80題)
Sleep is important to us because it helps restore organs and tissues in our body, but how much sleep do we actually need?
For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. Yet we know that there are many people who get 61 perfectly with less sleep, and some who may need 62 . A great deal depends on the 63 we live. But a good general rule 64 is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be able to work 65 our best when we awaken.
There are actually different 66 of sleep. There is a deep sleep and a shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep our body does not get the same thing from rest it gets as in a 67 sleep, 68 after eight hours of a shallow sleep we may still feel tired. But a short, deep sleep can be very 69 .
Alexander the Great Emperor was able to get a deep sleep 70 he needed it. Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained 71 longer than anyone else. 72 he wrapped himself in a cloak and 73 down on the earth. He slept so 74 that his generals had to wake him three times for him to give the 75 to attack!
Normally when we go to sleep, our “sleep center” blocks off nerves so that 76 our brain and body go to sleep. 77 prevents us from wanting to do anything, and the other 78 our internal organs and limbs go to sleep. 79 sometimes only one goes to sleep and the other does not. A very tired soldier can sometimes 80 asleep (brain sleep) and keep on marching because his body is not asleep..

Part I Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Sometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.
He is incapable of saying, “I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality(活力).” Instead, he would say, “That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!”
The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, he is too sensitive to notice.
Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but only half-heartedly.
Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, “You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don’t have many secrets, do we?” Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.
1. Which of the following words describes Ted best?
A. Cold. B. Tactless. C. Stupid. D. Warm-hearted.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that Ted ________.
A. is well-known for his honesty
B. tends to blame others rather than himself
C. often gives the right idea in the wrong way
D. is treated unfairly by the management
3. Which of the following is true about Sally?
A. She thinks it’s unfair to have so much work to do.
B. She is unhappy to help others.
C. She hates being ordered about.
D. She does everything half-heartedly.
4. From the passage, we can infer that Fergus ________.
A. was once close to all his colleagues
B. has remained in the same position for years
C. doesn’t know what a hint is
D. knows everything that happens in the office
5. The writer is taking the point of view of ________.
A. a colleague B. people like Ted C. an employee D. a manager
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
A lot of real businesses are focusing on the Internet as a way of building sales, but some people with nothing to sell are creating their own Web sites to announce wedding plans, show off pictures of their kids or just have communication. It’s not as hard as you think and it can be a lot of fun. Carol Masser has some tips on building your own Web site. “Like my living room, or my study, it’s where I put mementos (紀念品), collectibles(收藏物), books and paintings and things that I would like to show to my friends and relatives.”
Renne Tubegeihan uses his own Web site to invite people into his virtual home. While John Marashod designed his own Web site to attract other parents of disabled children. “I’d say the goal of this site is to basically link parents in the same situation with disabled children and exchange ideas with one another.”
Renne and John are part of a growing number of surfers who have established their own Web sites. If you want to weave a Web yourself, it’s easier than you think. The first step is to get your own Web address. They’ re sold by Web service providers like Microsoft, AT & T, and other local companies. You are expected to pay between 15 and 25 dollars every month to rent space for your site. But some companies, like Tripod and Geocities, issue the site for free if you agree to allow their advertising on your page.
Before you get into setting up your own Web site, you should go around and do some surfing and check out other sites. Once you know what you want to do, it’s time to build. If you just want the basics, you can use Microsoft’s free Internet Assistant; or if you want to get a little fancier, you can buy a software program like Adobe Pagemill for 100 dollars, or Microsoft’s FrontPage Editor for 150 dollars.
6. According to the passage, some people create their own Web sites in order to ________.
A. sell their personal things
B. set up family business
C. communicate with others
D. show off their Web-site building skills
7. What is the main goal of John Marashod’s Web site?
A. To contact parents who like to share their ideas on raising children.
B. To link parents who offer free service to disabled children.
C. To send information to disabled children.
D. To link parents with disabled children so as to communicate with each other.
8. Some companies offer free Web addresses provided that ________.
A. their advertisements are allowed to be put on the Web site
B. the Web service providers agree to put their advertisement on their Web sites
C. Microsoft and other service providers pay the monthly rent
D. 25 dollars are to Microsoft, AT & T or other local companies
9. What do you need to do after you get your Web site address according to the passage?
A. You need to contact a local company for free advertising.
B. You need to surf some web sites so as to decide what will be included in your Web site.
C. You need to learn the basic skills of creating a Web site.
D. You need to buy a software program called Adobe Pagemill.
10. What does the author think about creating one’s own Web site?
A. It’s very complicated.
B. It’s expensive by American standard.
C. It’s much easier than we think.
D. It’s just too simple.
Passage Three
Questions 11 to 16 are based on the following passage:
Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (藥物學)offers a lot of tranquilizers(鎮靜劑), antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug-store, try the following approach.
Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic(增氧健體的)exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits.” Says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compared favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise --- running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and tamed activities that boost the heart rate, increase circulation (血液循環)and improve the body’s utilization(利用)of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a session, three of five times a week.
11. What is the main subject of the passage?
A. How to beat a bad mood. B. How to do physical exercise.
C. How to talk bad moods out. D. How to get involved in aerobic exercise.
12. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself
B. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very efficiently
C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercise
D. a person can make a big profit if he is in a good mood
13. “Feel out of sorts” in the second paragraph could be best replaced by “________”.
A. put things in order B. be in a bad mood
C. search for tranquilizers D. need a mood-raiser
14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Doing housework can also help you overcome bad mood.
B. Aerobic exercise can make you in high spirits.
C. Swimming, walking, or running is an efficient cure for a bad mood.
D. Taking anti-anxiety drugs might do harm to people’s health.
15. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?
A. A procedure is explained and its significance is emphasized.
B. A problem is pointed out and solutions are given.
C. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.
D. Recent pharmacological advancements are outlined in order of importance.
Passage Four
(非英語類學生必做,英語類學生不做,16-20小題。)
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
The average person swallows about half-a-ton of food a year --- not counting drink --- and though the body is remarkably efficient at extracting (攝取)just what it needs from this huge mixture, it can only cope up to a point. If you go on eating too much of some things and not enough of others, you’ll eventually get out of condition and your health will suffer. So think before you start eating. It may look good. It may taste good. Fine! But how much good is it really doing you?
What you eat and the way it affects your body depend very much on the kind of person you are. For one thing, the genes you inherit from your parents can determine how your body metabolism(新陳代謝)copes with particular foods. The tendency to put on weight rather easily, for example, often runs in families --- which means that they have to take particular care.
And your parents may shape your future in another way. The way you are brought up shapes some basic attitudes to food --- like whether you have a sweet tooth, nibble(吃零食)between meals, take big mouthfuls or eat chips with everything. Eating habits, good or bad, tend to get passed on.
And then there is your lifestyle. How much you spend on food (time as well as money), how much exercise you get --- these can alter the balance between food and fitness.
And finally, both your age and your sex may affect this balance. For example, you’re more likely to put on weight as get older, especially if you’re a woman.
So everybody is different and the important thing is to know yourself.
16. Before eating something, we are advised to consider ________.
A. how good it will taste B. whether we really need it
C. why we want to eat it D. if we have eaten too much of it
17. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. in order to keep fit, we should spend as little time and money as possible on food
B. nibbling between meals is a bad habit that will throe our body out of condition
C. if other members of our family get fat quite easily, we probably will too
D. we can eat as much as we want and leave it to our body to select what it needs
18. If we love sweet things, it’s probably due to ________.
A. our body’s needs B. our parents’ influence
C. our basic instinct D. the taste of the food
19. According to the passage, which person is most likely to put on weight?
A. A successful young businessman. B. A child who is picky about food.
C. A man with a good appetite. D. A woman who has just retired.
20. What conclusion can we draw from this passage?
A. People need a standard to guide their eating.
B. Proper eating is the key to one’s health.
C. Women should pay more attention to what they eat.
D. The balance between food and fitness is hard to maintain.
B 文章最后提到我們都是不一樣的,因此充分了解自己是必要的。飲食與健康之間的平衡是因人而異的。因此對每個人而言,適合自己的飲食才是保證健康的關鍵。因此選擇選項B.
Passage Four
(英語類學生必做,非英語類學生不做,16-20小題。)
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Mrs. P sneezes violently. Mrs. Q says “Bless you!” Mrs. P says “Thank you.” Again, this hardly seems to be a case of language being used to communicate ideas, but rather to maintain a comfortable relationship between people. Its function is to provide a means of avoiding a situation which both parties might otherwise find embarrassing. No factual content is involved. Similarly, the use of such phrases as “Good morning” or “Pleased to meet you”, and ritual exchanges about health or the weather, do not communicate ideas in the usual sense.
Sentences of this kind are usually automatically produced, and stereotyped in structure. They often state the obvious (e.g. Lovely day) or have no content at all (e.g. Hello).
They certainly require a special kind of explanation, and this is found in the idea that language is here being used for the purpose of maintaining good relationship between people. The anthropologist(人類學家)Bronislaw Malinowski created the phrase “phatic communication” to refer to this social function of language, which arises out of the basic human need to signal friendship --- or, at least, lack of hatred. For someone to withhold these sentences when they are expected, by staying silent, is a sure-sign of distance, alienation(疏遠), or even danger.
These illustrations apply to English and to many European languages. But cultures vary greatly in the topics which they permit as phaic communication. The weather is not as universal a conversation-filler as the English might like to think. For example, Rundi women (in Burendi, Central Africa), upon taking leave, are quite often heard to say, routinely and politely, “I must go home now, or my husband will beat me.” Moreover, phatic communication itself is far from universal. Some cultures say little, and prefer silence, as in the case of the Paliyans of southern India, or the Aritama of Colombia.
16. What is the subject of the passage?
A. Language used to communicate ideas.
B. Difference between English of language use.
C. A special social function of language use.
D. Relationship between language and culture.
17. In Paragraph 1, the author implies that ________.
A. people usually think language is only used to communicate ideas
B. the exchange about health or the weather is a universal topic
C. people will always say something when facing embarrassment
D. the example of Mrs. P and Mrs. Q is common in all cultures
18. The phrase “stereotyped in structure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. sentences of this kind have a variety of meanings
B. this kind of sentences have no content at all
C. the structure of these three sentences is always changing
D. sentences of this kind usually have a fixed structure
19. The phrase “phatic communication” in Paragraph 3 can be explained as ________.
A. exchange of ideas
B. explanation of facts
C. exchanges about health or the weather
D. exchange for maintaining social relationship
20. In the last paragraph, the author concludes that ________.
A. the weather is a universal topic for human communication
B. phatic communication differs from culture to culture
C. the English and people in many Europeans countries have common language for phatic communication
D. every culture has its own way to communicate ideas

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.
Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男子漢) image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach then to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒棧) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade, there is no easy solution.
16、Drunken driving has become a serious problem in America because .
A. most drunken drivers drive their cars at top speed
B. most drivers regard heavy drinking as part of the American macho image
C. fatalities caused by drunken driving have been greatly increased
D. about 25,000 people on average are killed every year by drunken drivers
17. Why have the public changed their opinion about drunken driving?
A. Because detailed statistics on drunken slaughter are now available.
B. Because they are no longer tolerant of the drunken slaughter.
C. Because judges usually give more severe sentences to drunken drivers.
D. Because drunken drivers are more conscious of their image.
18. The statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that .
A. many drunken drivers were not of legal age
B. many young people were in no way qualified drivers
C. raising the legal drinking age would have little effect on the reduction of tragedies
D. raising the legal drinking age would reduce the fatalities caused by drunken drivers
19. Laws recently introduced in some states have .
A. reduced the number of convictions
B. resulted in fewer fatalities of traffic accidents
C. prevented bars from serving drunken drivers
D. specified the amount drivers can drink
20. What’s the author’s attitude towards the solution to drunken driving in the United Stats?
A. Ironical. B. Casual. C. Optimistic. D. Realistic.
