Reading Comprehension

The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists now know there are very definite patterns that almost all people share. Even if you’ve passed some of your “prime”, you still have other prime years to experience in the future. When are you smartest? From 18 to 25, according to I. Q. score, but you’re wiser and more experienced with increasing age. You’re sharpest in your 20’s. But your I. Q. for other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21. When are you happiest? You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 44. Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 30, we believe that they’re behind us. A National Health Survey agrees: After age 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness will follow.

When are you most creative? Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions. Mozart wrote a symphony by age eight, and Mendelssohn composed his best known work at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 44. Though the peak in most fields comes early, creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives. For the “well-conditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.

61. The expression “prime years” in Line 2, Paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A.the age of ideal physical condition B.be early in time or order

C.the period of ideal or peak condition D.the most special days

正确答案:C

62. At what age are you smartest, sharpest and with the best physical sense, according to the passage?

A.From about 15 to 25. B.Over 30.

C.From 45 to 49. D.At 60.

正确答案:A

63. There are many ways to take happiness with us in our lives EXCEPT FOR______.

A.maintaining our health

B.achieving professional goals C.achieving emotional goals D.being smart and sharp

正确答案:D

. From the last paragraph, we can learn that______. A.for those creative people, there is no upper limit in life B.for most of us, the peak in most fields comes early C.the peak varies with different professions D.how we can keep our creativeness

正确答案:A

65. The passage is mainly about______.

A.the ups and downs of life may have no predictable plan

B.everyone has his or her prime years to experience again after the “prime” in his or her 20 ‘s

C.at what age you are smartest in your life D.at what age you are happiest in your life

正确答案:B

People today are still talking about the generation gap (代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all. What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared? One important cause is that young people want to choose their own lifestyle. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like and often to continue the family occupation. Parents often want their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money; the high expectation that parents place on their children is another cause of the generation gap. Finally, the high speed of social change deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be outdated overnight (一夜之间).

66. According to the passage, children today would like their parents to______. A.give them more independence B.choose a good job for them C.live together with them D.make more money

正确答案:A

67. Parents often hope that their children will______. A.make as much money as they do B.be more successful than they are

C.choose jobs according to their own will D.avoid doing what their parents can’t do

正确答案:B

68. The generation gap has become wider than before because of______. A.the increasing dependence of children on parents B.the influence of traditional culture on children C.the rapid changes of modern society D.the lack of lifelong occupation

正确答案:C

69. In today’s society, the knowledge of a lifetime______. A.is still very much valued B.becomes out of date quickly

C.is essential for continuing family occupations D.helps the young generation to find a better job

正确答案:B

70. A proper title for this passage would be______. A.Parents’ Viewpoints on Generation Gap B.Relationship Between Family Members

C.Generation Gap Between the Young and the Old

D.Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern Knowledge

正确答案:C

No one knows for sure why birds migrate (定期迁徙). One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the ice age, when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits. And birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone. Another theory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There they lived so well that the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward. During the summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however, food became scarce and they had to return to the south. A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands (腺) in the bird’s body and prepares it for migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by exposing them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set free. The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird’s body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight. This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to have its own schedule. The theory would also account for the regular time and routes of migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start them on the way. How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not follow known landmarks (地面标志), for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.

71. We can conclude from the first paragraph that______.

A.during the ice age, the whole Europe was covered with ice B.the south used to be the homelands of all birds

C.scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate now

D.migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth.

正确答案:D

72. The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter because______.

A.they are specially trained by a scientist B.they are affected by seasonal changes

C.there is a change in their body temperature D.they are exposed to extra daylight

正确答案:D

73. The phrase ‘account for’ (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means______. A.indicate B.explain C.prove D.provide

正确答案:B

74. Which of the following can not be inferred from the passage? A.Birds do not migrate at the same time.

B.Birds usually follow regular routes of migration. C.Each species has a special reason for migration.

D.Birds migrate to their own particular places every year.

正确答案:C

75. The best title for the passage is______. A.Different Accounts of Migration B.Migration and Weather

C.New Discovery of Bird Migration D.Routes of Bird Migration

正确答案:A

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will, be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling’s wizard is not alone: The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord

of the Rings. Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And a-round 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly. Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most. Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age. International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less—often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

76. Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?

A.Many children’s books have been adapted from films. B.Many high-quality children’s books have been published. C.The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films. D.The sales of presents for children have increased.

正确答案:B

77. Statistics suggested that______.

A.the number of top students increased with the use of computers B.a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading C.a minority of primary school children read properly D.a huge percentage of children read regularly

正确答案:B

78. What do we know about Reading Recovery?

A.An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year. B.Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking. C.It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading. D.Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.

正确答案:D

79. Reading for fun is important because book-loving children______. A.take greater advantage of the project B.show the potential to enjoy a long life C.are likely to succeed in their education D.would make excellent future researchers

正确答案:C

80. The aim of this text would probably be to______.

A.overcome the reading difficulty of primary school pupils B.encourage the publication of more children’s books C.remind children of the importance of reading for fun D.introduce a way to improve early childhood reading

正确答案:D

Translation

Section ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.

81. I think there is one main reason why people don’t follow their dreams: fear. I think the first part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear. You will fail at times and others will think you are crazy at times, but if you believe that you will succeed then you finally will. I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. But I understand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you greatly. They have failed, and come out on the other end extremely successful. They are living proof that you can do what you love.

正确答案: 我认为有些人之所以不去追求他们的梦想是有一个主要的原因:恐惧。我认为第一步人们应该去战胜恐惧。有时我们会失败,有时别人也会觉得你有些疯狂,但只要你坚信你能够成功,那么你最终必将成功。我理解这做起来并不容易。其实,我也正在克服追求我的梦想过程中的恐惧。但我们相信有些人已经从这个恐惧中坚强地走了出来,并愿意帮助我们。他们曾经失败过,但他们走向了胜利的彼岸。这些人的故事正是“你能做你所爱”的真实而有力的证据。

Writing

82. For this part, you are required to write a composition of 120 to 180 words. You should base your writing on the title and outline given below.My View on the Income Gap1.收入差距悬殊是当前社会的一种现象;2.人们对之褒贬不一;3.你的看法。

正确答案: My View on the Income Gap Now the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint ventures, or foreign-funded companies, an executive’s yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker’s. Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is often derived from the gap. In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push to economic advancement. Others speak of its side effects: Income gap is often the root of social unrest and is also contrary to our country’s socialist values. From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well. An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development. Therefore, while we are advocating the rapid development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one.
