Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 41 ~ 45 are based on the following passage: It is the duty of every man to work. The lazy man wastes his time, and his life is of no use to himself or to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or steal. Every one when he is young should learn some useful work. But it is not enough that one should learn some kind of work. He should work hard, and not waste his spare minutes or half hours. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old. There is no better aid to diligence than the habit of early rising, and this, like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and must make a good use of his time. One must study hard when he is young, so that he may succeed in his life and become useful to his country. I have never heard that those who are diligent will become beggars, but I know that lazy fellows will become beggars. Therefore, I should say that diligence is the mothe 103f r of success. 41. The best title of the passage could be “_____” A. Learn to work B. diligence C. Early Rising Is a Good Habit D. Students Should Study Hard 42. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A. Habits are easily formed when one is young. B. Old people can easily form the habit of getting up early C. One should be diligent D. A lazy man is likely to be harmful to society 43. From the passage, we can concluded that ______. A.diligence can always help one to achieve success B. laziness always leads to theft C. “Lost time never returns” is a law of physics D. youth is the only important period in life 44. According to the passage, the best way to make a person diligent is ___. A. to make good use of his time B. to learn some useful work C. to work hard D. to get up early 45. From the passage, we can guess that the author of the passage is ____. A. a lazy man B. a beggar C. a diligent man D. a writer Questions 46~50 are based on the following passage: Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man show what he was learning. He was learning Latin. He was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society and was reading English literature. At school he seems to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. For unlike other young men of good families, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital. In terms of formal training then, Washington was different from some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe. 46. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college? A. His family could not afford it. B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time. C. He didn’t like the young Virginian men of good families who went to college. D. The author doesn’t give any reason. 47. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____. A. lacked practice in public speaking B. felt his education was not enough C. didn’t like arguing and debating with people D. felt the others were being impractical 48. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he ____. A. didn’t really care about going B. did not know the French leaders C. could not communicate directly with the French leaders D. was too busy to travel 49. According to the author, ____. A. Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life B. Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French C. Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison D. Washington was a model for all V irginian men of good families 50. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education ____. A. was of great variety, covering many subjects B. was probable equal to those of most young men of good families at that time C. may seem poor by modern standards, but was good enough for his time D. was rather limited for a president Questions 51~55 are based on the following passage: The American definition of success is largely one of acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living. It is not surprising, therefore, that Americans have valued education for its monetary value. The belief is widespread in the United States that the more schooling people have, the more money they will earn when they leave scho 103f ol. The belief is strongest regarding the desirability of a undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree such as medicine or law following the undergraduate de gree. The monetary value of graduate degree in “nonprofessional ” fields such as art, history, or philosophy is not as great. The belief in the monetary value of education is supported by statistics on income. Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist, estimated that in the course of a lifetime a man with a college degree in 1972 would earn about $380 000 more than a man with j ust a high school diploma. Perhaps this helps to explain survey findings which showed that the Americans who wished they had lived their lives differently on some way regretted most of all that they did not get more education. 51. What most Americans like most about higher education is ____. A. its cultural value B. its monetary value C. its moral value D. its material value 52. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true? A. Americans take success as acquiring wealth and a higher material standard of living. B. In American people’s mind eyes, education h as its monetary value. C. Education is the only way to acquire wealth. D. A person’s income is related to his schooling. 53. The passage says that people have stronger desire to ____. A. study medicine B. study history C. study law D. both A and C 54. In the survey findings, some Americans regretted ____. A. not having much education B. having too much unnecessary education C. living differently D. earning $ 380 000 55. In this passage, the writer wanted to show us ____. A. the earlier you start to work, the better you live B. education is very important in the American society C. people with little education are looked down upon by others everywhere in the United States D. Americans take money seriously III. Cloze (1 mark each) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. About 485 years ago, a man stood alone on the coast of Spain. He looked toward the west and said to himself, “The earth canno t be flat. If I sail westward, 56 I shall hit land, India perhaps, and the queen will have a new and shorter 57 to the riches of that country.” Christopher Columbus told his idea to Queen Isabella of Spain. She give 58 three men. And Columbus sailed westward for many weeks, through 59 seas. 60, he saw land: a group of islands now called the West Indians. Columbus was sure it was India, and he called the natives “Indos”. Stories of what Columbus found quickly 61 across Europe. His word “Indos” became “Indians” to the English. 62 all the natives of the We st Indias and Central America became known as “Indians”. Christopher Columbus 63 four trips to the New World. Y et, he died in Spain without knowing where he had been. He died 64 he had sailed to India. It was soon learned that Columbus had made a mista ke. 65 the word “Indian” was well established in Europe. The first 66 who arrived in North Carolina and Birginia in the early 1600’s called the natives Indians. This name spread nor th 67 the colonies of Maryland, New Y ork, Pennsylvania and New England were settled. Today the word is used to 68 the descendants of the first peoples of North and South America. In the far north they are called Eakimos. And in the far south 69 are the Patagonians and the Fuegians. Students and scholars have long known 70 the American Indians were not really Indians 71 . And one scholar proposed a name that he believed would be better—Amerinds. He made up this name by 72 American and Indian. This word is often used today by other scholars, but the general 73 has heard little of it. Word experts say the name Indian may be wrong but we are stuck with it. It 103f is too late to change it to Amerind. Most people would not 74 the change.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks) Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese. (76) The invention of electronic computers makes it possible to free man from the labour of complicated measurement and computation. A high speed electronic computer can carry out up to one hundred million arithmetical operations in one second. A computation which would have taken years of human work in the past is now done in a few seconds. (77) A number of various complicated problems which could not be solved before have been solved with the help of computers. Accurate measurement and exact computation are the bases of modern engineering and scientific research. Every engineering worker must determine accurately the amount of any change that the material to be used undergoes in different conditions. And every science worker will have to make numerous accurate computations before he can say that the results of his experiment are correct. (78) Y et there exist complex computations in science and engineering which science workers are unable to make because they are too long and too complicate. Here is an example which can illustrate how much time some of them may take. In order to solve a complicated chemical problem a chemistry worker must make about four million operations. (79) It would take him years to work the problem out, while electronic computing machine would do the same job only in a few second. We may divide electronic computers into two groups: machines that can control and those that can count. The former is used in satellites, guided missiles, weather-forecasting instruments and other devices, both simple and sophisticated. And the later can add, subtract, multiply and divide. (80) Such machines are to do any operation which we can reduce to arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many problems and take them 103f in any order. V.

Reading Comprehension (3 marks each) Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 41 ~ 45 are based on the following passage: There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them. The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which 103f students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February. 41. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about ____ a year. A. 15 weeks B. 16 weeks C. 30 weeks D. 32 weeks 42. The academic year begins ____. A. in late September B. in late August C. sometime in January D. in late May 43. The first term ends ____. A. after Christmas holiday B. in May C. before Christmas holiday D. in fall 44. The second term lasts about ____. A. five months B. four months C. six months D. five or six months 45. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins ___. A. In December B. In August C. In January D. In February Questions 46~50 are based on the following passage: In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimm ers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes! 46. Women are called “the weaker sex” because ____. A. women do as much work as men B. people think women are weaker than men C. sport is easier for men than for women D. in sport the two sexes are always together 47. Which of the following is true? A. Boys and girls study separately everywhere. B. Women do not run or swim in races with men. C. Famous Prime Ministers are women. D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe. 48. “That at least is what people say.” Means people____. A. say other things too B. don’t say this much C. say this but may not think so D. only think this 49. What problems does sport have? A. Some women athletes are actually men. B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections. C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women. 50. In this passage the author implies that ____. A. women are weaker than men, but faster B. women are slower than men, but stronger C. men are not always stronger and faster than women D. men are faster and stronger than women Questions 51~55 are base on the following passage: The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing. Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists 103f and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods. Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Y osemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie. If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety. 51. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? A. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography. B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement. C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects. D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing. 52. The word “album” in the first sentence means___. A. a holder for sets of disc B. a blank book used for collecting stamps C. a frame in which the best stamps are displayed D. a small box where colorful stamps are kept 53. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to ___. A. postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stamps B. various organizations and systems that sell new stamps C. organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectors D. knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order 54. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders. B. Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated on stamps. C. Few scientists and artists appear on stamps. D. Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.
