Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Section A (10 points)
Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
M any a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always __1__ such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of __2__ and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a __3__, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never __4__. Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty. I did.
When I left a 20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿人), I had no __5__ at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was __6__and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a __7__ writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to __8__ myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I __9__ made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test----even though it meant living with __10__and fear of failure. This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
Section B (30 points)
Directions:There are 3 passages in this section. 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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.
Aleem Walji works for https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html, -- the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html, will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.
https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html,’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html, wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.
https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html, will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.
The creators of Google have promised to give https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html, about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future.
11. The purpose of Google’s investments is to ________.
A. help poor people
B. develop new technology
C. expand its own business
D. increase the power of information
12. According to Aleem Walji, the company’s first project is to ________.
A. set up a new system to warn people of infectious diseases
B. find out where infectious diseases develop
C. identify the causes of infectious diseases
D. cure patients of infectious diseases
13. What kind of businesses will benefit from https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html,’s second project?
A. large enterprises
B. cross-national companies
C. foreign-funded corporations
D. small and medium-sized businesses
14. From the fourth paragraph, we learn that Google’s money is also invested to
help ________.
A. start more research programs
B. make more advanced electric cars
C. develop renewable and coal-based energy
D. conduct studies related to climate changes
15. From the last paragraph we learn that the investments by https://www.wendangku.net/doc/529021316.html, come
from ________.
A. Google’s profits and stock value
B. some international IT companies
C. the company’s own interests
D. local commercial banks
Passage Two
Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.
Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?
The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.
In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.
16. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A. bosses are hard to deal with
B. bosses have good character
C. bosses determine your career future
D. bosses must have similar personality
17. In the second paragraph, “rise up the career ladder”(Line 2) means
________.
A. going to work abroad
B. changing jobs frequently
C. being promoted in position
D. pursuing an advanced degree
18. In order to achieve his objectives, your boss expects that you will _______.
A. do your best in your work
B. show your management skills
C. get along with your colleagues
D. write reports to upper management
19. The most important factor for establishing a good working relationship with
the boss is ________.
A. high expectations
B. quick feedback
C. frequent criticism
D. effective communication
20. The best title for the passage might be ________.
A. How to Take Care of Your Boss.
B. How to Get Along with Your Boss
C. How to Accept Your Boss’s Criticism
D. How to Accomplish Your Boss’s Objective
Passage Three
Borrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.
Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.
However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay
the money they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: “How much money can I get?” and “As much as possible.” Is it any wonder that lenders say no?
So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan. 21. By saying “Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle”,
the writer emphasizes ______.
A. the ability to borrow from a bank
B. the importance of borrowing money
C. the difficulty of getting a bank loan
D. the start-up of a new small business
22. Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.
A. are in need of start-up capital
B. have the ability to pay it back
C. own an old and large business
D. haven't borrowed money before
23. What will bankers do before they give a loan to a new and small business?
A. Help fill out a special form for getting a loan.
B. Request the business to pay a small deposit.
C. Get enough information about the business.
D. Estimate the size of the loan they will give.
24. Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.
A. the form they fill in is incomplete
B. their products are not technically advanced
C. the amount of money they want to borrow is too big
D. they have no clear idea of how much they need to borrow
25. The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should
______.
A. thoroughly prepare
B. do some market research
C. learn a lot about the bank
D. know the upper limit of the loan
Part III Translation (30 points)

题目部分，(卷面共有3题,21.0分,各大题标有题量和总分) 一、Fill in the Blanks with the Right Word（实词填空）(1小题,共1.0分) 1．(0.5分) These charges and interest rates are va_______ and the Bank reserves the right to change them from time to time. 二、Reading Comprehension 阅读理解(2小题,共20.0分) 1．(10分)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a “study or research leave”. Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university. Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave. At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him. “I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties – the things a president does,” Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forget things about people. I wanted to relearn things I’d forgotten.” Telling no on e of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, GeorgiA、 After that, the college president washed dishes ina Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector. 1. The first paragraph is mainly about _______________. A、why a professor should be free from his duties every seventh year B、how professors spend their study leave C、what a study leave is and its purpose D、how a study leave makes a professor a wiser person and a better teacher 2. A study leave is a period of freedom from duties allowed to a university teacher who has taught ________ since his last leave. A、for six years B、for seven years C、for a term D、for a university year 3. People learned about Dr. Coleman's unusual experiences from ________. A、his colleagues B、the boss of a Boston restaurant C、the Canadian newspapers and magazines D、the U.S. newspapers and magazines 4. Dr. Coleman carried out his study leave in an unusual way because ________. A、he hates his university life, especially his job as a president B、he wanted to learn about people, especially people who do hard physical labor
