Reading Comprehension(50 points)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 centre.Passage OneMost American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they haveto do the same regular work, theyll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 单 调 )are what they cant stand.In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hatshats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,” If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”“Hows that?” The tourist could not understand.“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”61. We can learn from the story that .A. only the straw hats of the same style were soldB. most American people dont want to do the same work again and againC. the straw hats were sold only in the mountain villageD. the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style62.

Because the shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.63. “It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .A. it would be too expensive for the shop-keeperB. the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dyingD. it would be too boring for the shop-keeperPassage TwoIt is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purposeyou should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保证) for your character and ability;and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of business. let it be known.Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.66.

The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.71. Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .A. loud musicB. the sound of a jet airplane or machinesC. common sounds at home or at workD. all of the above72. The passage suggests that ones hearing .A. will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondB. will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one secondC. will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondD. will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second73.

A.should never be taken more than four grams a dayB. makes hearing damage from noise worseC. decreases hearing damage by two timesD. should never be taken for more than two days74. Millions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise because they .A. take too much aspirinB. like listening to loud musicC. make loud noise at home and at workD. often take jet airplanes75. The scientist found from his experiment that a day for two days would affect a persons hearing.A. one gram of aspirinB. two grams of aspirinC. three grams of aspirinD. four grams of aspirinPassage FourAncient people had little idea of the nature of the earths surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This isbecause sea water, unlike rain-water, contains saltit is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “insalt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continnts” meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that layin the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continentsAsia, Europe and Africaare actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earths population.76. People in ancient times knew .A. a lot about land and seaB. some continents were connectedC. little about the surface of the earthD. many people lived on the World Island77.

Writing(20分)College Students Doing Part-Time JobsThere are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. First, it can help the students to realize that if they want to be successful, they need to be hard-working. Next, doing part-time jobs can help the students to learn about time management. Then, doing part-time jobs can provide the students opportunities to put what they have learned in class into practice, which, in turn, will help them learn about what exactly is needed in real jobs.However, there may also be some disadvantages. Firstly, the students study hours may be shortened depending on circumstances.
