Grammar and Vocabulary Section A (A) A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that ___ 25 _ love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become 26 (depressed) than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all. The possible reason 27 the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression 28 it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents. Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. __ 29 __ (try) romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people 30 (build) strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family. Parents 31 watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes, and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, 32 only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.

Well, New York’s new law says you can’t. And you’ll be 41 $100 if you do it on a New York City street. The law went into force last year, following recent research and a(n) 42 number of accidents that involved people using electronic devices when crossing the street. Who’s to 43 ? Scientists say that our multitasking (处理多重任务的) abilities are limited. “We are under the impression that our brain can do more that it often can,” says Rene Marois, a scientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to 44 on two things at once.” The young are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18- to 21-year-olds and a group of 35- to 39-year-olds were given ninety seconds to translate 45 into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did ten percent better when not interrupted, But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 46 message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 47 . It is difficult to measure the 48 lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. It is estimated that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year. The 49 is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers’ time was spent on interruptions and 50 time before they returned to their main tasks.

A detailed study of biological diversity (多样性) in town and city gardens has found that they offer a vital refuge for animals and plants. It has also found that many of the ideas about wildlife gardening are not 51 . In fact, small gardens are just as good as big gardens at 52 wildlife, suburban gardens aren’t always better than city gardens and non-native plants aren’t always harmful to native insects and birds. Britain’s 16,000,000 gardens are a refuge for hundreds of species of animals and plants that would find it 53 to survive on intensively (精细地) farmed land. According to the study, gardens are amazingly varied even compared to 54 environments that are good for wildlife. Small gardens are more interesting 55 they vary a great deal in botanical environment. All the wildlife responds to the variation. Ken Thompson of Sheffield University was involved in the first detailed study of the 56 living in British gardens when he and his colleagues surveyed 61 gardens in Sheffield. They really found a(n) 57 diversity of plants and animals. They also identified a range of simple 58 that improved a garden’s environment for wildlife.

(A) All over the world, children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine: laughter. Lucy is 23 and works for Theodora Children’s Trust. She is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children. “I’m a Theodora clown doctor. I call myself Dr Looloo. I spend two days a week in children’s hospitals, making funny faces, telling jokes, and doing magic tricks. As I walk into the wards I blow bubbles, shake hands with the kids, and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing.

There are special kids m working with a very sick little girl from you get really close to. At the moment I’ Bosnia who speaks no English, so our only common language is laughter.

In a case which has already cost the taxpayer ?1,000,000, the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay. At her home last night Mrs Catherine McColl said, “I did what I thought was right and I would do it again, too.” She claimed that adding fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup. “Where would it stop?” she asked. “They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.” It was a horrible poison, she said, that could have caused all kinds of diseases, including cancer. The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on public health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its use was greatly favoured by the dental profession, he could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs McColl in particular, might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public well-being without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority’s legal duty to provide “wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink, did not, he said, extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means. 74. Mrs McColl felt so strongly about the fluoride issue that she eventually _____. A. took the local council to court B. had a physical fight with the judge C. urged the authority to apologize D. spent much money removing the chemical 75. According to what the judge said in the passage, adding fluoride to the water _____. A. was not proved to be harmful B. was the duty of the local authority C. was strongly opposed by dentists D. was surely beneficial to the public 76. The word “wholesome” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by the word “_____”. A. clear B. poisonous C. healthy D. recycled 77. From the passage we learn that people like Mrs McColl are more concerned about _____. A. the improvement of their personal health B. the problem of unemployment in their community C. the chemicals to be used for the improvement of water supply D. their right to be informed of the authorities’ decisions Section D This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry”. This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non-science students? The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing— the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board. The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学). Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informational charts as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.” But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS. ) 78. Why was this class very unusual? Because ______________________________. 79. The experiment was designed to help teachers find out why ________________. 80. The poetry class was different from science and engineering classes in that __________. 81. the purpose of the experiment is to have all of the professors ________________. I.

I am now a senior high 3 student at Eastern Caoyang Secondary School. I am studying Chinese, English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry. P.E. and Politics. As you can see from the attached grade reports, I have received very good marks in all these subjects. I also won first prize in the Outlook English Speech Contest this year. I am currently the chairman of the School’s Chemistry Club. As chairman, I provide direction for our club’s projects. I also have a wide range of interests outside school, such as playing the guitar, listening to pop music, reading and collecting stamps. I felt that I am a strong candidate for receiving the scholarship because of my excellent academic achievements and strong leadership skills. I am looking forward the opportunity in your country. Thank you for considering my application. Yours sincerely, Jason Zhang 听力测试卷文字稿 Section A 1. M: I'd like a table, please. W: I'm sorry. You have to wait for some time.

Do you have the time? M: Well, my watch says it's half past three, but it gains five minutes. Q: What time is it now? (C) 3. W; Have you decided what to give your wife for Christmas yet? M; No, not yet. I know she likes cameras, but that's too expensive. Q; What are the two speakers talking about? (A) 4. M: I'm really worried about my maths exam tomorrow. Could you help me, Susan? W; I'd like to, George, but I know little about maths myself. Q: What does Susan mean? (B) 5. M: You should have come here twenty minutes ago. W; I'm sorry, but the heavy traffic delayed me. Q: What happened to the woman? (D) 6. M: Are you from Australia, Miss Brown? W; No, my friend Janie is. I'm from Canada. I've traveled to New Zealand with her by way of Japan and Singapore.

I called the front desk at eight o'clock in the morning. Where the hell are they".' Q : What was the matter? (B) Section B Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. The study of space and distance concerns the way we use the space around us. The minute you enter a classroom, for example, you will have to decide where to sit. You may choose to sit in the back because you do not want to be noticed, or because you do not want people behind you to look at you. On the other hand, you might select a front row seat because you have a lot of confidence or because you want to be noticed. What is interesting about your choice of seating is that you might be sending your instructor a message. When he sees you sitting in the back or in the far corner, he might conclude that you are an unusually attentive student and he should give you special attention. 11. What can be revealed if you choose to sit in the front? (D) 12. What may the instructor do if he sees you sitting in the far corner? (C) 13. What does the passage mainly talk about? (A) Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. An individual's intelligence is determined by two factors. The first is the kind of brain he is born with. An individual will have a low level of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn, so the second factor is the kind of environment that affects him. The importance of environment can be demonstrated by the case history of the individual twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. John, however, was educated in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. The environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens. When they were given tests to measure their intelligence, John's IQ was 25. 25 points higher than the average and 40 points higher than that of his identical brother. 14. What are the two factors that determine an individual's intelligence? (A) 15. What is Peter's IQ? (D) 16. What does this case indicate? (C) Section C Directions; In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W; Aren't you going for the job interview tomorrow? M; That's right. I have to go at 10 o'clock in the morning. I don't know how to get there, though. W; I can take you there in my car, if you like. M: Thanks a lot. That's a great help. I must say, I'm worried about this interview. W: Why? You're the right person they are looking for. And I know they need engineers. M: I know, but I haven't had much experience. W: I don't think that matters. You're sure to get the job. M: Well, I don't know. W; Don't you want the job? M: Of course I do. I really need it. And there's another thing. I don't think I'm good enough at languages. W; But your German is really good. I was impressed by the way you talked to those people we met on holidays last year. M: But I don't think I speak German well enough for doing business, and my French is terrible. W: Well, I don't agree. Your language is good. M: It's very nice of you to try to cheer me up, but I still don't think I'm going to get the job. W; Well, we'll just have to wait and see, won't we? (17. 10 18. Engineer 19. experience 20. German) Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. M; Hello, Nancy. This is Ted. How are you? W; Fine, thank you. A bit too busy, though. You know, I'm trying to put everything in order in my new flat. M: Oh, I see. Well, I was wondering if you'd like to go to a concert tomorrow night. I think it will be good. And if I remember correctly, you did say you like country music. W: Yes, that's right. I do. It's nice of you to ask me, Ted. But I don't think I can. Monica has getting already asked me to see a friend and men we'll go to the theatre together. In fact, she's the tickets this evening. M: Oh, well. Never mind. What about next Saturday? This concert is still on then, I think. W; Oh, I'd like to very much, but what time exactly? M: Well, it starts at 7:30, I think. W: Oh, good, that'll be fine. The tennis match will be over by 5 o'clock, I'm sure. M: Good, I'll call you again when I get the tickets. W: Sure. Bye for now. (21. See a friend 22. the theatre 23. a tennis match 24. a concert)
