Passage A
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
31．Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A．The man’s job was bike racing B．It was their only possession.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D．They used it for work and daily life.
32．We can infer from the text that ____________.
A．the couple worked 60 hours a week. B．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bike D．life was hard for the young family.
33．How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A．From radio broadcasts. B．From a newspaper.
C．From TV news D．From a stranger.
34．What do the couple learn from their experience?
A．Strangers are usually of little help.
B．One should take care of their bike.
C．News reports make people famous
D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.
Passage B
Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 an d under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.
Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someon e out.
The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．The experience of the only child being with mother.
B．The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
C．The happy life of two families.
D．The basic needs of children.
36．Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.
A．happy B．curious C．regretful D．friendly
37．What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
A．The daughter acts like a leader.
B．Sam holds her hand more often.
C．The boys become better followers.
D．Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
38．The author seems to believe that ___________.
A．having brothers and sisters is fun
B．it’s tiring to look after three children
C．every child needs parents’full attention
D．parents should watch others’children

Part I Reading Comprehension
Section A
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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
center.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Trials are taking place in North America and Europe to test an electronic device which will prevent children from watching unsuitable programs on television.
The device, known as a V-chip (the “v” stands for violence), allows parents to control their television set so that programs which are unsuitable for children cannot be watched on a particular television.
The V-chip works by using an electronic code. When a program is broadcast, the signal from the television transmitter carries a code, which indicates the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program. The V-chip
inside the television then examines the code for each program and blocks transmission of those programs which contain certain codes.
Makers of the V-chip say that parents can be confident that their children will not be able to watch those programs which they decide are unsuitable.
V-chip technology has attracted a lot of interest. President Clinton passed a law last year which will require all new televisions to be fitted with V-chips by 1998. And the European Parliament（欧洲议会）has included the V-chip in its new Directive on Broadcasting.
But critics say that the system will not be fool-proof, and that children will find ways of getting around it. There are also concerns that foreign satellite television companies may not abide by the rules. Others say that if viewers come to rely on the V-chip, other controls on program content may start to be relaxed.
1. According to the passage, V-chip technology enables parents to _____________.
A) turn off the television when they are not home
B) keep inappropriate TV programs away from their children
C) test electronic devices that can take the place of the TV set
D) control the amount of time that their children spend on watching TV
2. What do we learn from the passage about the electronic code?
A).It is a computer program built in a TV set to examine the V-chip.
B) It contains information about the television transmitter.
C) It is the signal that is sent out by the V-chip.
D) It shows the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program
3. T he word “they ” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________________.
A) makers B) children C) parents D) programs
4. We can conclude from the passage that ________________________.
A) TV sets sold in America after 1998 are required to have V-chips
B) a law had been passed to prohibit sex and violence on TV
C) President Clinton attracted a lot of interest
D) the European Parliament decided to import the V-chip technology from USA
5. Critics of the V-chip were concerned that ____________________.
A) children may not like the new technology
B) imported TV set may not have been equipped with V-chips
C) children may get addicted to the new technology
D) new problems may arise even if the V-chip works
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
It is estimated that some seven hundred million people are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely qualifies literacy (读写能力).
Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to
fill in forms.
The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).
6. Studying carefully the clues in the passage, we learn that the total population of Africa is .
A) approximately eight or eight point five thousand million
B) approximately seven hundred million
C) approximately one hundred and twenty-five million
D) exactly twenty-four million
7. The figure of illiteracy in Britain comprises .
A) zero point one per cent of that of illiteracy in the world
B) zero point two per cent of the world adult population
C) thirty-five per cent of Europe’s population
D) three point five per cent of that of the illiteracy in Southern Europe
8. It is obvious that UNESCO .
A) is a company in France
B) works mainly at combating illiteracy
C) is a world organization attached to the U. N.
D) has many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy
9. A world plan mentioned in the passage aims at .
A) enforcing the functions of UNESCO
B) training responsible citizens
C) urging Southern European countries to take the lead in attacking illiteracy
D) helping illiterates learn how to read and write
10. The author implies that this world plan is to .
A) be carried out in the major areas of illiteracy like Africa
B) be realized in ten years
C) be drawn up by Parisian experts
D) be debated at an international conference
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
In the course of the late 1930s thousands of workers transformed an old garbage dump in the New York borough of Queens into the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. For the price of a five-cent subway ride and seventy-five-cent admission fee, some fifty-seven attendees could sample personally “the wonders of contemporary life.”
Since the middle of the nineteenth century, industrial states had held periodic expositions to showcase the
goods produced by their nationals and by others. Alth ough London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 had led the way, it was the French who were to produce such international displays of culture and machinery most frequently during the next half-century. American expositions tied the French example to the celebration of key historical anniversaries. The best-remembered example is the Chicago Exposition of 1893, which marked the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival—one year late. The New York World’s Fair of 1939 was inspired by the 150th anniversary of the inauguration (就职典礼) of George Washington.
What took place at these showcases of modern architecture, national pride, and international commercial competition? The 1893 Chicago Fair boasted its entertainment “Midway” as well as scientific exhibits, and visitors to the New York Fair in 1939 may well have been more impressed by the simulated (模拟的) 250-foot parachute jump than by the first speech by a president to be shown on television, or the first color film for home movie cameras.
11. How much did a ticket to the 1939-40 New York Fair cost?
A) 5 cents. B) 75 cents. C) 57 cents. D) 80 cents.
12. The word “showcase” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A) display B) be put in a case C) purchase D) be bought
13. Which nation organized most of the international exhibitions between 1850 and 1900?
A) Great Britain. B) The United States. C) England. D) France.
14. We can conclude from the passage that the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival should ha ve been celebrated in _______________.
A) 1893 B)1892 C) 1894 D) 1895
5. What was one important feature of the 1893 Chicago Exposition?
A) Entertainment and scientific displays. B) Historical conference.
C) Athletic competition. D) Presidential speech.
Section B
Directions: In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be
sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).
Teen smoking rates have been dropping since 1997, federal health officials report today, but more than a quarter of high school students still smoke cigarettes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says roughly 29% of American high school students are smokers, down from 36% in 1997. The finding confirms other studies that show a decline in smoking in this age group.
The trend is occurring across all race and age groups and in both boys and girls, says Terry Pechacek of the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. If trends continue, the report says, the national goal to reduce teen smoking rates to 16% or lower by 2010 is achievable.
Pechacek attributes the decline to a 70% jump in the price of cigarettes from the end of 1997 to May 2001, along with expanded school, state and national smoking-prevention efforts. By 2000, the report says, 92% of the USA's school districts required tobacco-prevention education, and nearly half of middle and senior high schools had no-smoking policies.
To keep teen smoking rates on a downward path, Pechacek says, cigarette prices should continue to rise and smoking-prevention campaigns should expand. “We’ve got it going in the right direction,” he says, “but we can’t be satisfied w ith what we have got. If we’re going to continue to decline, we’ve got to continue those efforts.”
The data being released today are part of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a national school-based survey of 14,601 students in grades 9-12 that was conducted in spring 2001.
SAQ 1. This report mainly discusses ____________________.
SAQ 2. From 1997 to 2001, the smoking rate in America high school students has dropped by _____________ percentage point.
SAQ 3. What did the US want to achieve in fighting teen smoking by the year 2010?
SAQ 4. The drop in teen smoking rate was a result of _____________________ as well as efforts from various sectors to prevent smoking.
SAQ 5. What should be the next step to reduce teen smoking rate according to Pechacek?

一、视听说教程 Unit 1 Life is a learning curve 1、Long conversation M: Miranda, let's speak about your performance in class. You're not participating; you're careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don't want to be here, do you? W: I'm sorry Dr. Smith. It's just ... I've got lots of things to do. I'm studying Web design and I'm a first-class player on our golf team. It's hard to see why I need to take a Spanish language class! M: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico. W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I'm supposed to learn Spanish —on top of everything else I have to learn? It's just too much! And if I don't spend enough time on the golf course, I won't remain a first-class player on the golf team. I still don't see why I should learn a language that's so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design! M: Listen Miranda, I've known your father since we were students at university 20 years ago —and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen. W: Yes, of course, you're like my favorite uncle. M: Your brain isn't like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it's like a muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity. W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try. Question： 1、How is the woman doing in the man's class? 2、What does the woman think of learning Spanish? 3、What do we know from this conversation about the man? 4、What is the woman most likely to do after talking with the man? 2、passage 2 Have you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite numerous reasons for homeschooling their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the traditional school environment, the lack of

Reading Comprehension (24%) Passage 1 Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boy to meet girl. Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars introducing eligible marriage partners to each other, but parents also play a part in the ritual by which young Koreans meet. In Confucian Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred rite, the scene of the initial meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage and keeping the bloodlines pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters. Often, the girl will work out a system of discreet signals with her mother, where her parents can tell if she is interested. For example, if the girl orders an orange juice it might signal that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a coffee indicates she wants them to stay. Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introductions being done by friends. But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man or woman in the country who has not gone through this process ——sometimes six or seven times.
