111【模拟试题】（答题时间：60分钟）一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。AMy neighbors 8-year-old daughter used to stay in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents brought her to town to live with them. Rude and wild, she would swear or use impolite words when she was displeased. Sometimes she went so far to roll on the ground, to the disgust of all people around. Her parents tried to tame her by beating and kicking, only to result in more violent performance. Finally they became thoroughly disappointed of her.One day their next-door neighbor, a retired woman teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very beautiful. It immediately aroused sparks in her eyes and made them shine brilliantly. The girl put on the dress and became quite another person. She no longer said rude words or hit others, even less rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was beneath her in such a beautiful dress. Since then the girl has been gentle, neat and lovely.The story set me thinking a lot. Maybe everybody has a beautiful dress hidden somewhere in his or her heart. Only some people arent aware of it, forget it or lose it. Beauty is also a powerful force. It can arise fine qualities that humans are born with but have so far unrevealed. It has soul-shaking influence that is indeed unparalleled.1. We can learn from the first paragraph that _.A. the girl was pleased to swear and use rude wordsB. not all the people around disliked herC. the girl became polite after being beating and kickingD. the girl was hard to tame2. The text is mainly written to explain _.A. beating and kicking is not everythingB. everyone can be educatedC. everybody dreams of having a beautiful dressD. beauty is powerful and effective3. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Retired Woman Teacher B. A Naughty GirlC. A Beautiful Dress D. A Moving Story BThe Americans divided their holidays into two different systems. In the first system are the official government holidays. Most of these are fixed to the nearest Monday to provide a three-day weekends for office staffs.The three summer holidaysMemorial Day, the Fourth of July(Independence Day) and Labour Dayare legal outdoor barbecues (烤肉野餐). All across the country home members dust off their Weber grill (烤架), open packs or hot dogs for the children and take out chicken, steak or ribs for the adults.The population at large also observes a dozen or more unofficial holidays. St. Patricks Day turns everybody in the United States into honorary Irishmen and women. Everything turns green. Bars serve green beer, bakeries produce green bread, Chicago goes the extra mile and dyes the river green.New Years Eve celebrations on the East Coast center around television events from Times Square, New York, the official organization announces when the New Year arrives. But since the United States covers five time zones, the New Year jumps across the country in one-hour jumps, and by the time Hawaii strikes its clock for the New Year, the rest of the country is fast asleep.4. Why do most of the first system holidays are fixed to nearest Monday?A. Because most of the them are official government holidays.B. Because the large population of them are unofficial holidays.C. In order to provide a longer holiday for office staffs.D. In order to provide weekends for office staffs.5. Which of the following does NOT belong to official government holidays?A.

CIn the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and believe that their degree would help them to find a good job.However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and dont have jobs, so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2003. There were many high-tech (“dot com”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. Its a new market,” according to Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center.Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.7. This story mentions college graduates at _ A. San Jose State Career Center. B. San Jose Community College. C. San Jose State University. D. San Jose Polytechnic High School. 8. The main idea of this story is that _ A. Ryan Stewart has not been able to find a job. B. a college career center is a crossroads between college and the real world. C. in some fields, salaries have increased in the past year. D. between 1999 and 2003, the job market changed dramatically. 9. Which of the following things did not happen in the four years that the class of 2003 was in college? A. Dot com opportunities decreased. B. The number of teaching jobs increased. C. Salaries in chemical engineering increased. D. The number of jobs with benefits decreased. 10. Which of the following majors has the best job prospects, according to the story? A. Information systems management. B. Accounting. C. Computer science. D. Teaching. DSteve Nash scored seven of his 39 points in overtime(加时赛) after hitting a game-tying three-pointer in regulation, and the Phoenix Suns earned their first trip to the Western Conference finals in 12 years with a thrilling（激动人心的） 130-126 victory over Dallas on Friday. Phoenix won two straight games to take this series 4-2 and set up a meeting with the San Antonio Spurs beginning Sunday. It will be the Suns first appearance in the conference finals since their NBA Finals season in 1993. Nash continues to back up his MVP status(最有价值球员) with memorable games. In addition to his 39 points, he grabbed(抓住) nine rebounds and handed out 12 assists - continually setting up his teammates for clutch field goals at key moments in the game. His leaning three-pointer with 5.7 seconds left in regulation tied the game and quieted an American Airlines Center crowd that used to cheer for him when he played for the Mavericks. 11. According to the news, which of the following statements is true?A. It was the first time that The Phoenix Suns had gotten to the Western Conference finals.B. Steve Nash played an important role in the Phoenix Suns earning their trip to the Western Conference finals. C. The Phoenix Suns will defeat the San Antonio Spurs.D.

It already works for hundreds of thousands of Korean-language addresses recognized by Netpias database（数据库）, and the company is testing it in another 95 languages. Web site operators have to register key words with Netpia, for a fee, to make the service work. “Two-thirds of the world use non-English language and if this technology is adopted（采用）, it will make it much easier to find a Web site and thus boost（增强，提高） cyber transactions and accessibility to Web information,” Lee Pan-jung, chief executive at Netpia, said in a recent interview. “People feel more comfortable with their mother language and this technology is a very useful tool to spur（激励，策动）the use of the Internet as it appeals（引起兴趣） even to children and elderly people with no knowledge of English.” A U.S. company called Realnames had offered a similar keyword addressing service and once tried to take over Netpia. But the deal failed and Realnames stopped operations last year after Microsoft Corp. ended a partnership that made the service work with its Explorer browser. Some analysts are pessimistic（悲观的） about whether it can compete with search engines such as Google, which is available in some 90 languages. “I dont expect many to register additional addresses. Only some corporate（社团的 公司的） clients （顾客）are likely to do so,” said Park Jong-min, an analyst at Samsung Securities. “People are likely to prefer running search engines than trying keyword address in the first place when they are not sure whether such addresses exist or not.” 13. The new technology can make computer users_.A. find web sites by search enginesB. find web sites by typing their native languages into the address bar of browserC. create their own websites easierD. run their computers much faster14. If you want to use this new technology, you _.A. can get the service for freeB. must go to Netpias databaseC. mustnt use search engines, especially GoogleD. must pay for the service15. According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A U.S companyRealnames once worked with Microsoft Corp.B. The new technology will even make the elder people with no knowledge of English interested in the internet.C. Many people including the author are pessimistic about the new technology.D. Its not clear whether the new technology will take the place of search engine.16. The best title of the passage should be_.A. non-English search tool takes the web world widerB. more and more people begin to use non-English search toolC. non-English search tool takes the place of search enginesD. Netpia defeats Realnames FIt is clear that womens roles have changed greatly in recent years. Women have lost some of the control over small children that they formerly enjoyed as the “primary teacher”, for they are now competing with school teachers and the TV set, among other forces. Women have also suffered a loss in their traditional economic role. The food crops women once produced have been replaced with imported（进口的） food in many parts of Micronesia today. Locally grown, breadfruit and bananas have been replaced by rice, bread, and other foreign-bought foodstuffs（食品）. Men, of course, have suffered a similar fate. In fact, when the moderator（仲裁） called for a vote on whether male or female roles had changed more in recent years, most felt that men had suffered even greater changes than women. Men, for instance, are not required to go fishing as often as they once did since the store offers a selection of frozen and canned protein items from abroad. They too seem to have found their teaching roles weakened. The difference, as one participant put it, is this. If mens traditional roles have eroded(受侵蚀) over time, new roles have taken the place of the old. When womens roles were lost in the course of change, however, they were never replaced. Women, who were once seen as contributors（贡献者） to their society on a par（同等） with men, are now becoming ever more economically ignored. They are seen primarily as housewives dependent upon male bread-winners, in the words of one person. Men have been generally given access(通道) to new roles in the modern society, while women have not. 17. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. Mens role in society. B. Womens role in society. C. The difference between the chances of mens role in society and womens. D. Men and women should be on a par18. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “put it” in the 3rd paragraph? A. say B. lay C. correct D. brake19. We can learn from the passage that _ A. women love their own children so much that they can not work as teachers. B. in many parts of Micronesia people today mainly live on Locally grown breadfruit and bananas. C. as contributors to society, women were never treated equal(平等). D. when traditional roles change take place, men are much easier to get new ones.20. The writer gives an example that men are not required to go fishing as often as they did before to support the idea that_ A. Its clear that womens roles have greatly increased in recent years B. Its clear that mens roles have changed much more C. Its clear that mens roles have been weakened much more D. Mens contribution to society have been weakened二、写作第一节：短文改错 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Good morning! Tonight the main news is about the bad weather we had.
