Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, , I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn t need to do that. He said that it was Jim s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And V m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains , , and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:Heis not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66. The happiest people should be those who_.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67. The word “ they ” underlined in Line 5, para. 2refers to_A. Older people B. New things C. Children D. Interests68. A child has his pains because_.A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69. When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to_.A.live comfortably B. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in job D. Impress the society70. The best title of the passage might be_.A. Pains and Ages B. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to Be D. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are bora with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the worlds top expert on the influence of money on children. He has wriTitten a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich , , says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family-life. Money cant buy love.It can buy a lot of other things, though, and thats where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parentsover favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world ; . adds Mr. Coles, and they are more self-assured.Todays rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families _.A.enjoy traveling B. can buy loveC. usually commit suicide D. are not always happy72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that_.A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes cant enjoy the thing they are most in need ofD. rich children arent given enough things73. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C. Money cant buy everything.D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.74. The expression “ silver spoons ” in Paragraph 1means_.A. very expensive spoons B. rich peopleC. wealth D. spoons made of silver75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that .A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than moneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answer s with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been drop ped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B. Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today,educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friends homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one s hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13and 19.In a 1978study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among todays youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public thin gs and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that todays youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and e arly seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but todays students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because_.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77.

Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B. A student writes down something to be tested before an examC. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.79. The 1978study of cheating in Georgia shows that _.A. only students in the 24high schools cheated in examinationsB. both good and poor students cheated in examinationsC. boys liked cheating while girls did not like itD. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that _.A. more and more public things are damagedB. good values disappoint studentsC. more and more students begin to stealD. honest people are in higher positionsPart Translation (2x 10)Directions:There are 10sentences in this section.
