Part Ⅰ Writing
Chinese craze
In the picture， we can see that there are some vases made of china. An image of a panda playing Kung Fu is carved on the surface of the vases and the Chinese mahjong is growing out of a vase. All these are the symbols of Chinese elements．It is obvious that the main purpose of the picture is to reflect the phenomenon of “Chinese craze”， referring to a foreign passion and enthusiasm on Chinese elements， especially culture. There are reasons accounting for the growing interest in Chinese elements. For one thing， for the past decades， China has made conspicuous progress in all fields such as economy， science and technology， and comprehensive strength of China has been enhanced greatly. For another， due to the progress， China presents a new image to the world and is becoming increasingly attractive and appealing to the whole world. Toward this kind of “Chinese craze”， we should hold a right attitude. On the one hand， we should take pride in the “Chinese craze” by foreigners. On the other hand， it is the responsibility of each Chinese citizen to popularize and promote excellent traditional Chinese culture and guard a favorable image of our motherland．

Part ⅣTranslationIn the past， human beings neednt worry about the protection of the environment. There were few people on the earth then and there seemed to be inexhaustible natural resources. But today things are different. The world has become so crowded and we are running out of our natural resources. We are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this， no life on the earth will survive. We must face the situation that exists and take action to solve our environmental problems. For instance， new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution. The public must receive education about the hazard of pollution and so on. We hope that all these measures will be effective and bring back a healthful environment．

M: You thought it was him， but he is supposed to be in Washington for his concert tour．
Q: What does the man imply？
4. W: Oh， David， you are in a black jacket but yellow trousers. Its the strangest combination Ive ever seen．

Q: What does the woman think of the way Davids dressed？
5. M: You look quite different from what you used to．

Conversation One
W: And when did you begin this sort of work？
M: Lets see now...Uh， yes， six years ago， this March．
W: And you enjoy it？
M: Oh yes， very much. Its very tiring， with long hours on the job， sometimes， uh， as much as twelve hours. Well， uh， but its exciting to meet people from all over the world. It really is．

Conversation Two
W: Good evening! Welcome to our program. Our guest today is Mr. Tennant， who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well， Mr. Tennant， do you think going abroad was the hard part？
M: I dont think so， but returning back home was really hard．
W: Why？
M: Well， for many students， returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience called Reentry Shock．
W: Reentry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it？
M: For example， many students come to the UK experience freedom they have never enjoyed in their country．
W: Sure， such as freedom from family， from cultural norms they didnt like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job．
M: However， too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes， stay out late， and engage in activities that their family and culture might not approve of， but students want to enjoy “freedom” while it lasts．
W: So when students return back to their countries， they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectation of the past．
M: Yes， naturally， depression is possible and a loss of self can be resulted．
W: What can be done to minimize this Reentry Shock？
M: First of all， keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return．
W: What else？
M: Second， have a clear plan of what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Reentry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return．

Section B
Passage One
We all scream for water when thirsty， but do you know in very hot， dry weather， plants also make faint sounds—as if they are crying out for help？ You see， in a plants stem there are hundreds of water pipes that bring water and minerals from the soil all the way up to the leaves. As the ground turns dry， it becomes harder and harder for the plants to do this. In severe droughts， plants have to fight to pull out any water available. Scientist Robert Winter has found out that when it is really bad， their water pipes snap from the tension like rubber bands. When that happens， the whole plant vibrates a little. The snapping pipes make noises ten thousand time

s more quiet than a whisper. Robert knows that healthy， wellwatered plants are quiet. He also knows that many insects prefer attacking dry plants rather than healthy plants. How do the insects know which are healthy plants and which are not？ Robert thinks that the insects may listen for the plants that cry and then they may buzz in to kill. To test his theory， Robert is using a device that can imitate plant cries. He attaches it to a quiet， healthy plant so the plant sounds thirsty. Then he watches the insects to see if they attack more often than usual. If he is right， scientists could use the insects ability against them. They could build traps that imitate crying plants. So when the insects buzz in to eat， they wont buzz out.
16. What do plants do when they are thirsty？
17. What plants do many insects tend to attack？
18. What could scientists do if Roberts theory proves to be true？
Passage TwoHow many of us would be a temp for three years while we waited for the perfect job？ Not many of us， perhaps. But Wentworth Miller， the Prison Break star， said he chose to wait even longer until he found the right job. “Actually I think it might have been three or four years until I was lucky enough to get guest roles on TV shows，” said Miller， 34， who rose to international stardom thanks to Prison Break in 2006. That kind of patience and strong will was portrayed in Prison Break. Miller comes from a family of teachers. He said he didnt seem fated for a career in the arts， despite his passion for acting. After graduating from Princeton with an English degree， he moved to Los Angeles to look for a stable life. He started work in a little company that made television movies. This meant simply faxing， filing， walking the bosss dog and going to the store for the bosss lunch. However， Miller realized he still had questions about his choice. He decided to quit. But the boss said he was making a mistake and offered him a wellpaid assistant position. But he still quit and temped for many people in the entertainment industry. Now， hes a hot star and has people coming up to him at film festivals. The old days were tough， but he was glad he had that perspective. It was never about money， he insisted， theres a kind of excitement that comes along with acting. He cant find it anywhere else．
19. Who can get a perfect job according to Wentworth Miller？
20. What did Wentworth Miller do in his first job？
21. Why is Wentworth Miller enthusiastic about acting？
Passage ThreeIn the old days， children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member．Nowadays when people grow old， we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick， we transfer them to a hospital， where children are forbidd

en to visit terminally ill patients—even when those patients are their parents. This deprives the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death， which is an important learning experience. Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out how they feel about death. We are most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome. It is important for family members， and doctors and nurses to communicate with these patients in order to truly understand their needs， fears， and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed， to be kept uptodate on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death．
22. What did children in America think of death in the old days？
23. What were the children in contemporary American society deprived of？
24. During the interview with the patients， what deeply impressed the speaker？
25. What is most needed by a dying patient according to the speaker？
