Part I Reading
Comprehension
Directions:There are four
passages in this part.
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 1to 5are based on the
following passage:
More attention was paid
to the quality of production in France at the
time
of Rene Coty.Charles Deschanel was then
the financial minister.He
stressed that
workmanship and quality were more important than
quantity for
industrial production.It would be
necessary to produce quality goods for
the
international market to compete with those
produced in other countries.The
French economy
needed a larger share of the international market
to balance
its import and export trade.
French industrial and agricultural production was
still inadequate to meet
the immediate needs of
the people,let alone long-ranged
developments.
Essential imports had stretched
the national credit to the breaking
point.
Rents were tightly controlled,but the
extreme inflation affected general
population
most severely through the cost of food.Food costs
took as much
as 80 percent of the
workers'income.Wages,it is true,had
risen.
Extensive family allowances and benefits
were paid by the state,and there
was full-time
and overtime employment.Taken together,these
factors
enabled the working class to exist but
allowed them no sense of security.In
this
precarious(不稳定的)and discouraging situation,workmen
were
willing to work overseas for higher
wages.
The government was reluctant to let
workers leave the country.It was
feared this
immigration of workers would deplete the labor
force.The lack
of qualified workers might
hinder the improvement in the quality
of
industrial products produced.Qualified
workers employed abroad would
only
increase the quantity of quality goods produced in
foreign countries.
Also the quantity of quality
goods produced in France would not be able
to
increase as part of its qualified labor
force moved to other countries.
1.According to the passage,the French workers
were ________ .
A)better paid than the workers
in any other European countries
B)able to save
more money with the increase in their
wages
C)anxious to work abroad
D)often
unable to find work in France
2.Rene Coty
and Charles Deschanel were both interested in
________.
A)better quality in
production
B)increasing quantity in production
<
C)having the government raise tariffs on
foreign imports
D)eliminating unions in
France
3.The French government was
reluctant to let the workers leave
the country
because ________ .
A)it would enlarge the
working force
B)it would hinder the improvement
of quality in industrial
production
C)it
would hinder the increase in quantity of
exports
D)it would damage the imports
4.Rents in France ________.
A)were
extremely high
B)were extremely
controlled
C)took as much as 80percent of the
workers'income
D)had doubled in two years
5.According to the passage,the French
government ________.
A)prohibited French
to work abroad
B)reduced taxes to fight
inflation
C)paid family allowances and
benefits
D)prohibited the French workers to
join labor unions
Questions 6 to 10
are based on the following passage:
Food can
be divided into two basic categories:real food and
pleasure
food.Real food is fuel for the body's
needs,while pleasure food, which is
high in
fat and sugar,is primarily for taste
satisfaction.The categories are
pretty
obvious.Broccoli is real food.Cookies are in the
pleasure group.
When you are hungry,you
are faced with choices.If you aren't suffering
from excessive hunger,you can be rational
about them.Go to the
refrigerator.What looks
good?If you have chosen a real food,say,a
turkey sandwich,you can be certain your body
can use it for fuel.Eat it
and enjoy.
Two hours later you are hungry again.Back to the
refrigerator.What
looks good?Ice
cream.Stop!Employ your will power just a
little.Ice
cream is not what your body
needs.Does something else look good?Yes,
a
piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of
milk sound good too.
Okay,go ahead,remembering
that high-fat real foods should be eaten in
moderation.
One trick is to
eliminate pleasure foods from your
kitchen.Instead,keep
a variety of high-quality
foods available at all times.In short,buy lots of
delicious real food,food you really like,and
get rid of the junk.
But what if you
have ice cream on hand and nothing sounds
good?
Although you don't want
to eat
pleasure foods whenever the urge strikes,there is
a legitimate place
for them in your diet.If you
have analyzed your feelings and there are
no
other needs imitating hunger,eat the ice
cream.You have not failed.On
the contrary,you
have accepted your naturalappetite,but not
blindly.
Surprisingly,when you know you
can eat anything you want,and that
you never
have to
put up with unsatisfied hunger again,it
takes a lot of pressure off.You will
begin to
want to eat what your body needs,and your body
will begin to need
foods that will lead
to
slimness.
6.Which of the following statements
is NOT true?
A)The author is against
getting rid of pleasure food altogether.
B)One
can eat the high-fat real foods heartily since it
is fuel for the
body.
C)Make sure to keep
pleasure food such as ice cream in your diet.
D)Of course you can sometimes have ice cream if
you really want to.
7.What would be the
best title for this passage?
A)Real Food And
Pleasure Food
B)Reducing Weight
C)Limit
Your Consumption Of Pleasure Food
D)How To
Choose Food When You Are Hungry
8.Whatcan
you assume from the last paragraph?
A)Being
able to eat anything doesn't necessarily imply
pleasure.
B)Real foods may lead to
slimness.
C)Eat only what your body
needs.
D)Be sure to satisfy your hunger
whenever it strikes you.
9.What can

cream
B)cauliflower

sandwich
D)a piece of toast

D)Low-quality
foods.
Questions 11to 15are based on the
following passage:
Cloning,manipulating a
cell from an animal so that it grows into an exact
copy of that animal,is the forbidden fruit of
biotechnology. Some
scientists were so sure it
could not be done
that,in the 1970s,they
discouraged moralists(伦理学家)from
discussing its
moral implications.Yet at the same time other
scientists,
secretly,in out-of-the-way
labs,were getting ever closer to
making
clones.For ten years,scientists
have been cloning sheep and cows
from
embryo(胚胎)cells.But so far Dolly is the
only animal cloned from an
adult cell,not from
an embryo. She is living proof that scientists
have
solved one of the most challenging
problems
of cell biology.
The question
now is how soon will scientists clone humans.,the
scientific journal that published the Dolly
paper,commented,
humans from adults tissues is
likely to be achievable any time from one to
ten
years from now.
in human cloning.But a
human clone,even though it might resemble
the
individual from whom it was made,would
differ dramatically in personality
and
character,intelligence and talents.will never get
100 percent
identity,,
factors and because
environments are never exactly the same.
That,however,is small comfort to many
people.Shortly after Dolly's
birth
announcement,President Clinton ordered a group of
experts to come
up with proposals for
government action.With the cloning of humans
within reach,whether it is to be banned or
regulated is now on the nation's
moral
agenda(议事日程). Some regard the cloning of humans as
inherently evil,
a morally unjustifiable
intrusion into human life.They measure the
morality
of any act by the intention behind
it;still others are concerned primarily
with
consequences for society as well as for
individuals.
For the moment it seems that
the latest achievement in the biotech field
has
provided everyone with food for
thought.
11.In what way is Dolly different
from earlier clones?
A)It is cloned from human
embryo.
B)It is cloned from a human
cell.
C)It is cloned from an adult
cell.
D)It is cloned from an adult embryo.
12.What is the prospect,according to most
scientists,of making clones
from adult human
tissues?
A)Such clones will be exactly like
the one from whom it was made.
B)It would be
possible within the decade.
C)There still
exist some technical problems.
D)It is
impossible to make such clones in one to ten years
from now.
13.Why did Clinton order a group
of experts to make proposals for
government
action?
A)He wants to quicken the pace of
cloning research.
B)The success of cloning
involves serious moral evaluation
problems.
C)He wants to ban the human cloning
research.
D)He is worried about the funding of
the further research.
14..
A)worry for
food
B)increased food to be
expected
C)something worthy of
consideration
D)reasons for deep
understanding
15.The best title for the
selection can be
________.
A)BiotechnologicalSuccess And Its
Possible Consequences
B)Dolly Is Only The
Beginning
C)The Definition Of
Cloning
D)Cloning Humans From
Adults'Tissues
Questions 16to 20are based
on the following passage:
Failure is probably
the most fatiguing experience a person ever
has.
There is nothing more exhausting than not
succeeding,being blocked,not
moving ahead.It is
an evil circle.Failure breeds fatigue,and
fatigue
makes it harder to get to work,which
adds to the fatigue We experience
this
tiredness in two main ways,as start-up
fatigue and performance fatigue.In
the former
case,we keep putting off a task that we are forced
to take up.
Either because it is too tedious or
because it is too difficult,we avoid it.
And
the longer we postpone it the more tired we
feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very
real,even not actually physical,not
something
in our muscles and bones.The remedy is
obvious,though
perhaps not easy to
apply:willpower exercise.The moment I find myself
turning away from a job, or putting it under a
pile of things I have to do,
I clear my desk
of everything else and attach the objectionable
item first.
To prevent start-up fatigue,always
treat the most difficult job first.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to
handle.Here we are willing to
get started,but
we can't seem to do the job right.Its difficulties
appear to
be insurmountable and however hard we
work,we fail again and again.
The mounting
experience of failure carries with it an ever-
increasing burden
of mental fatigue.In such a
situation,I work as hard as I can,then let
the
unconscious take over.
16.Which of
the following can be called an evil
circle?
A)Success-zeal-success-
zeal.
B)Failure-tiredness-failure-
tiredness.
C)Failure-zeal-failure-
tiredness.

exhaustion.

,when keeping putting off a task,we
can
experience
________.

B)performance
fatigue
C)start-up
fatigue
D)unconsciousness
18.To
overcome start-up fatigue ,we need ________ .
A)toughness
B)prevention
C)muscles
D)str
ong willpower
19.The wordthe last
paragraph probably means
________ .
A)that
can not be solved
B)that can not be
understood
C)that can not be imagined
D)that
can not be objected
20.According to the

NOT
true?

gets
blocked.

Part III Short Answer
Questions
Directions:In this part,there is a
short passage
with five questions or incomplete
statements.
Read the passage carefully.Then
answer the
questions or complete the statements
in the fewest
possible words.
In an
effort to produce the largest,fastest, the most
luxuriousship
afloat,the British built the
Titanic.It was so superior to anything else on
the seas that it was considered. So
sure
of this were the owners that they provided
lifeboats for only 950of its
possible 3,500
passengers.Many passengers were aboard the night
it
rammed an ice-burg,only two days at sea and
more than half way between
England and New
York,the destination.Because the
luxury liner
was traveling so fast,it was impossible to avoid
the ghostly
looking ice-burg.An
inextinguishable fire also contributed to the
ship's
disaster.Panic increased the number of
deaths as people jumped into the icy
water or
fought to be among the few to board the
lifeboats.Four hours after
the mishap,another
ship,the Carpathia,rescued the survivors,less
than
a third of those originally aboard.The
famous Titanic enjoyed only two
days of sailing
glory on its maiden voyage in 1912before plunging
into 12,
000feet of water near the coast of
Newfoundland,where it lies today.

Part IV
Importance of Teamwork
As teamwork is
increasingly important in modern
society,everyone
should train his ability to
cooperate with others.
Today's society
is no longer aself-sufficient one,but one in which
all
the people depend on each other for
existence.Only for existence,not to
mention the
pursuit and obtainment of happiness,one can't do
without the
ability to work harmoniously with
others.In the highly developed
society
today,one can almost accomplish nothing
without joint efforts.Every loaf
of bread,every
article ofclothes,every house or apartment,every
means
oftransportation is the product
ofcooperative efforts.We play with
other
children in kindergartens;we study with
our classmates at schools;and we
will work with
our fellow workers or colleagues in factories or
companies.
What we have got through teamwork is
not only self-
improvement,
personalsuccessbutalso the
satisfaction at both our devotion to
common
causes and the sense
of collective
honor.
To meet the needs of both personal
improvement and the sophisticated
society,we
should learn to cooperate with each other and
adjust to each
other.Only in this way can we
achieve successes and satisfy ourselves
as
wellas the society.
