Part ⅠWriting (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The Old and the Y oung. Y ou should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

1.老年人与年轻人之间常会发生冲突；

2.谈谈你对这种现象的饿认识及解决的办法。

The Old and the Y oung

Old people are always saying that young people are not what they were. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.

On the one hand, the young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideas of their elders. On the other hand, the old always assume that they know more for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. What they reject more than anything is conformity.

Traditionally, the young turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation is reversed to some extent. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. Perhaps a mutually beneficial relationship between the two sides is more acceptable than quarrels and clashes.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)

Hybrid Cars

Hybrid Cars—An Innovation for T oday

Have you checked the price of gasoline lately? Have you recently paid more that ＄3.00 per gallon? Is the size of the gas tank in your current car bigger than in the car you were driving a few years ago? How much does it cost you now to fill up the gas tank of your car? Are you paying more than ＄30, ＄40 or even ＄50 to fill up? Take a look in the future, what will the price per gallon be 2 or 3 years from now? What will it cost then to fill up the gas tank of your vehicle?

There is still a lot of fossil fuel in the world but the fuel that is easy to find and to extract from the ground is disappearing. Those searching for new supplies of fossil fuel must search in places that are more difficult to work (due to the cold, the heat, the depth of the water, or the unfriendly political situation of the country). The cost of the search continues to increase, as does the expense of extracting the fuel. This expense is not only measured in dollars, but also in the damages to the environment.

Now think of what it might cost you 2 or 3 years in the future for a tank of gas if you continue to drive the same types of vehicles. The automobile industry, in foreign countries and in the United States, has developed the technology to help reduce these energy needs and to decrease

pollution. This innovation is called hybrid cars. These cars are available in the US today from 2 or 3 manufacturers and many more are on the way.

What Are Hybrid Cars?

A vehicle is a hybrid if it has more than one source of power. We have hybrid vehicles all around us such as diesel-electric trains, diesel-electric buses, and nuclear-electric submarines. Maybe some of you remember the Mo-Ped, a modified bicycle that used a combination of a gasoline engine and muscle power of its rider. In a similar manner, the gasoline-electric hybrid car is a combination of gasoline-powered car and an electric car.

What Is Reason for Developing Such a Complicated Car?

There are two major reasons: 1) To reduce tailpipe emissions and 2) To increase average gas mileage. These two goals interact with each other so that the overall performance of the hybrid car enhances both of them, today’s hybrids provide gas efficiency of 40 to 60 miles/gallon. The hybrids have reduced emissions to approximately 10% of the Japanese standards or about equal to the California standards, which are the most restrictive in the US.

How Do Hybrid Car Work?

There are two types of hybrid cars. One is known as the parallel hybrid and the other is known as a series hybrid. Both types use the same components, which are:

●Small Gasoline Engine

●Fuel Tank

●Electric Motor

●Generator (used mostly in the series hybrid)

●Batteries

●Transmission

●In the parallel hybrid, the fuel tank supplies gasoline to engine and batteries supply

power to the electrical motor. Both the engine and the electric motor can turn the transmission at the same time, and the transmission turns the wheels. An onboard computer controls the system so that the maximum efficiency is obtained. In a series hybrid, the gasoline engine turns a generator, which either charges the batteries or powers an electric motor that drives the transmission. The gasoline engine never powers the vehicle directly.

How Do These Combinations Meet the Desired Goals?

The key to hybrid car performance is that the gasoline engine can be much smaller than the engine in a conventional high horsepower car. But how can this be when you will be competing on the highway with much more powerful autos on the road?

The answer is that a conventional engine must supply power for all driving conditions. The engine needs to be powerful enough to accelerate onto a freeway and up hills, but it to use only a small percentage of its power at highway speeds.

In a hybrid, the gasoline engine provides the power at higher highway speeds and the battery-electric motor combination provides the power for city driving and for acceleration needs. With this combination, each power source works at its optimal level.

Some other tricks the hybrid car uses to get more efficiency are as follows:

The system returns energy to the battery when it decelerates. When you push on the brakes, the electric motor acts as a generator and recharges the battery. This energy is lost in a conventional car.

The hybrid can shut off the gasoline motor when it is not needed. This is very important when you are doing stop and go driving in the city and you have to stop a lot (gasoline is not wasted by running the engine at idle while the car waits at a traffic light.)

Hybrid cars are designed with the latest aerodynamics. This reduces the drag at higher highway speeds.

Hybrid use low-rolling resistant tires. These are stiffer and inflated to a higher pressure and cause about half the drag of conventional tires. The ride is a little rougher but the gas saving can be huge.

Hybrid also use very lightweight materials. This reduces the overall weight of the car and the mileage is increased.

The above designs will provide a very useful and comfortable auto that also gives you a maximum of gas mileage.

Hybrids are somewhat scarce right now (about 3% of the cars sold in the US) but should be plentiful for next year’s models (2005).

The above description of hybrid cars is meant to be only an introduction to this new technology. If you are interested in getting one of these marvelous cars in the future, you should start your investigation now. Take a test drive in some of the available hybrid cars, you will find some surprises. One is that the cars are extremely quiet, they have additional insulation in order to decrease the need for air conditioning and heating (the purpose is to save energy but the resulting quietness is a very nice benefit). A second is that these cars are very peppy, unlike early automobiles designed for energy conservation. The advantages and disadvantages will vary with each manufacturer, type and model of the hybrid. It will take a lot of time to look at all the various models but it will be well worth it for your future driving pleasure.

(N) There is enough fossil fuel in the world, but it will be difficult to find and to extract it from the ground.

(Y) In the US today, a lot of manufacturers are trying to produce hybrid cars in order to reduce these energy needs and to decrease pollution.

(Y) Mo-Ped is one kind of hybrid vehicle.

(NG) There are other types of hybrid which use different components.

(N) In both types, the gasoline engine can work to drive the transmission.

(NG) The most important advantage of hybrid car is that its gasoline engine can be much smaller than the engine in a conventional high horsepower car.

(Y) The gasoline engine and the battery-electric motor in a hybrid work together to provide the power for city driving and for acceleration needs.

Hybrid also use light materials to reduce _________ of the car. (the overall weight)

The above designs can make a very useful and comfortable car which can also give you _________. (a maximum of gas mileage)

If you want to get one hybrid car in the future, you should _________. (start your investigation now)

Par t ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A

The impact of the frontier has been traditionally assumed by historians, who have studied its 1(H) on mountain men and cowboys, on different political and social institutions. Y et the impact of the frontier on the most common dimension of life upon the family remains largely

2(C) . Although family has been 3(L) significant in the historical process, it is relatively a new area of historical research.

In terms of westward migration, family played a special role. For people who 4(I) the church as much as the state, family was the only institution that could be entrusted with the enterprise of settling the continent . A Christian family was enough of the church; a Christain family was 5(E) expression of political and social order. In 1862, Congress provided for the 6(O) of lands to heads of households in a law, but that law merely recognizes that settlement had been the business of families since the seventeenth century.

Families took up the challenge of the western lands in a variety of ways. Some families moved west in loosely 7(G) groups made up of families in similar directions. They drew up constitutions and elected leaders and generally applied the democratic process to the journey west. The government, for its part, 8(A) little help—no maps or transportation, no tools or agricultural information, no medical services and little protection. Beyond the westward-running rivers there was no road until wagons left deep 9(D) on the ground so that one could see a trail—or until enough wagons became lost and doubled back to warn others against their mistakes. Nonetheless, the attraction of “free land” was irresistible. One day or another, in a wagon train or

Section B

Passage One

In the past, it was believed that depression was more prevalent among the poorer and less educated people, but that is not the case. The truth is, depression can afflict people from all walks of life, and often it hits the most ambitious, creative and conscientious. It is fallacious to think that people on the corporate rung of the social ladder are not prone (易于) to this malady (疾病). In fact, executives and professionals who are burdened with mounting pressures in their work may succumb to all these pressures and become depressed. The suicide of V incent Foster, Jr., a noted American lawyer and White House official is a case in point. Despite the glamour of his position, which many people thought enviable, the felt overburdened with pressures and decided to take the easy way out.

Studies show that people born later in this century have experienced much more depression than those born earlier. In fact the rate of depression over the last two generations has increased tenfold. Experts theorize that it could be due to the fact that the younger generations have higher expectations from life and are therefore more likely to suffer from failure, disappointment and hence, depression.

Depression is easily recognizable. The depressed person feels sad or down in the dumps, and loses interest in even the most pleasurable activities. Moreover, he suffers from either significant gain or loss of weight, sleeplessness or oversleeping, sluggish movement and thinking, fatigue,

feelings of guilt and worthlessness, impaired concentration and forgetfulness, and in extreme cases, the afflicted person may have suicidal tendencies. It is often believed that depression runs in the family, but this is not conclusively so, since there are cases where depressed persons do not have a history of depression in their families. Depression is often work-related although at times it has its roots in family relations.

People who suffer from depression need not stay in the closet, since it is not a sin or a shame to be depressed. A prompt visit to a psychologist means prompt treatment and hence prompt recovery. Experts guarantee that depression is easily treatable, and in nip-in-the-bud cases, the patient fully recovers in a few days, thanks to the variety of effective treatment available.

(C)According to the author, depression _______ .

A)affects the poor and less educated people more than the rich and successful ones

B)seldom attacks executives

C)is not limited to any particular class of people

D)is caused by one’s ambition

(A)Studies shoe depression ________.

A)is more common today than in the past decades

B)was more common in the old generations

C)increased ten times in the days of our parents and grandparents

D)afflicts only young people

A)V ery high expectations for the individual make him more prone to depression.

B)A depressed person feels sad and dejected.

C)People need not attempt to hide their depression because it’s not a shameful thing.

D)Depression is hereditary.

(B)Depression can be easily cured ________.

A)if the patient is young

B)at the early stage of the disease

C)when plants are in bud

D)if the patient goes to see a psychologist

(B)The passage is mainly a ________.

A)description of the symptoms of depression

B)brief introduction of depression

C)summary of the causes of depression

D)list of treatment of depression

Passage T wo

Teachers always plan down to the minute what their students will be doing. This is good for kids, because it teaches them to stay on task and follow a schedule. But most homes aren’t run this way. If parents do plan their children’s lives minute by minute, what happens when that child grows up and goes to college? At some point, kids need to learn to manage their own time. This can be one of the valuable skills you help your kids develop outside of school. But it generally won’t happen all by itself, because there’s a big transition that happens when kids leave the structured school environment and come home.

If you have kid stay alone at home, think hard about trying to find an adult who can be there and provide the support your child needs. If a supportive adult isn’t available, an expert named

Martin recommends you find an after-school program led by experienced professionals who will engage them in creative activities, nourish them with healthy snacks, and assist them with their schoolwork. If you are at home on the contrary, to take some break after the guys get started on diversions, because it’s hard to stop and do something like homework. “If that little bit of downtime is television, good luc k…getting them to do their homework.” says a professor of child development at California State University, “TV is addictive.”A better way to help your child unwind is with a healthy snack. “Wait until dinner, make a plate full of energizing food. Y ou could even dish up part of the dinner you’re preparing a little early for the kids,” she says.

While you’re sharing a snack, you can make a list of what your kids will get to do during their study breaks. The types of breaks recommended include shooting baskets, getting a drink, using the bathroom, or even playing a quick card game with parents. Y our kids can be the ones to decide which breaks they’d like to take. But, as Freimuth says, your children will have to be honest about what kind of break will energize them and not upset their momentum.

(A)The main purpose of this passage is _______.

A)to provide some advice for the parents about children’s education

B)to explain how to prepare a pretty snack for your children

C)to explain why the parents spoil their children

D)to describe children’s lives after school

(B)The words “this way”in the sentence “But most homes aren’t run this way”in the first paragraph most possibly means _______.

A)to stay on the task

B)to arrange everything in details

C)to give some lessons to children

D)to behave in the structured school

(C)According to the passage, the expert named Martin most probably takes up the following jobs EXCEPT _______.

A) a specialist in children education

B) a professional consultant in a after-school program

C)the leader of a research group about sports, such as basketball

D)mostly the same as what Freimuth does

(D)According to the last two paragraphs, the appropriate snacks that the parents provide will _______.

A)upset the children’s momentum

B)exhaust them by lots of dirty dishes

C)make the children get addicted to TV

D)bring more energy to children

(C)Which of the following is NOT recommended for the break during the children’s study after class?

A)Shoot baskets.

B)Play some games with parents.

C)Go out to drink some beverage in a bar for a long time.

D)Relax a bit by using the bathroom.

Part ⅤCloze (15 minutes)

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children’s book.

Either the author has aimed too 3 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) the story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children’s books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the

6 who hears the story and the adult who

7 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 8

books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children’s literature were in fact written for 12 . “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 13 of this.

Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 18 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 20 books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise over that

Part ⅥT ranslation (5 minutes) Children in this country, especially those in the rural areas, should be encouraged to _____________________________________ (利用一切教育机会). (take advantage of all educational opportunities)

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .
