10、. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some people call it a snow scooter (滑行器). Some people call it a snow boat. And some people call it sit-down skis. But

11、 most people call it a snowmobile.Today people in a snow country dont need to stay home all winter. They just jump into their snow mobiles. And soon they are off over the snow.Snowmobiles help people do their work. Eskimos use them to hunt and fish. Policemen make their rounds in them. When people a

That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a part

16、icular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the style of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of we

17、aving and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns, and an expert carpenter (木匠) has the skill of joining together different shapes and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture. These skills may be referred to as workmanship (技藝). Similarly, in music a composer organizes hi

18、s melodies (旋律) and rhythms and combines sounds to create harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good, original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor, the final result will not be up to standard. Good music expresses feelings in a way that is s

19、uitable to those feelings. These may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings, it may not express any important feeling at all, or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly of permanent status whi

20、le bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly. In pop music, where the general rule seems to be the newer the better, the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass.6.

23、t of time is the hardest of all to pass” suggests that _.A. the newer tile music is the harder it can passB. it is most difficult for music to gain a kind ofC. pop music will cease to be enjoyed soon afterD. good music neednt pass the test of time10. This passage is concerned with _.A. how to compos

24、e musicB. how to enjoy musicC. how to judge musicD. how to perform musicQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:To be historically minded is to see things in relation and in perspective, and to judge tolerantly. We must remember how differently men have thought and acted in different t

25、ime, we must always keep an open mind, ready to receive and weigh new evidence. If we grasp this idea, We will never think that a historian (歷史學(xué)家) is someone who can remember dates. That childish idea is like calling a man a statesman (政治家 ) because be can remember the names of voters in his distric

26、t. A waiter could remember more names and a telephone operator more numbers than the greatest historian. The true historian is not content to take all his facts from other historians. Today he makes sure his statements are based on sound documents or sources which go back to the time of the facts th

27、emselves. But the historian needs always to be in his guard not to be misled by his sources. A document may not be a real one. Its author may be lying on purpose for some reason. He may be so greatly influenced by national, religious, party, or personal backgrounds as to be totally unfair to the oth

28、er side. If honest, he may be misinformed as to the facts and mistaken in his inferences. Anyone who reads the accounts published in the different countries concerning the causes and results of wars will realize that the historian needs caution and training in handling these sources. The trained his

29、torian asks first: Did this writer mean to tell the truth?” and second: Was he in a position or frame of mind to tell the truth even if he wants to. Every statement must be patiently weighed and tested and combined with all other available information in order to get at the truth.1l. A historically

30、minded researcher _. A. always keeps an open mind to history B. looks at one historical event without relating C. sees things from a single point of view D. refuses to accept new evidence12.

31、istory is not merely a matter of remembering dates C. a statesman can remember the names of voters in his district D. a waiter can remember more names than the great historians13. The true historian should base his statements on _.A. findings of other historiansB. documents created at the presentC.

32、his own inferencesD. sound historical materials14. Which of the following is the topic of Paragraph3? A. Some historical documents may not be real. B. Some authors may not be honest. C. Historians should be careful about their sources. D. historians may be influenced by their own backgrounds.15. It

33、is emphasized in the last paragraph that _. A. wars are accounted for differently in different countries B. the historian needs caution and training in dealing with his sources C. some writers may not be telling the truthD. some writers may not be in a position or frame of mindQuestions 16 to 20 are

34、 based on the following passage: The economic costs of noise to society are several. Airports are currently operating at less than capacity because of noise regulations which restrict their hours of operation. For instance, at Washington s National Airport no jet traffic is allowed from 11 pm to 7 a

35、m. Other airports restrict the use of certain runways. One estimate is that noise restrictions reduce possible airport use by 20 percent. The profitable cargo trade is especially affected by night restrictions. In the case of airports, jet engines may be modified to reduce their noise level, or insu

36、lation (隔音) from air traffic noise may be provided by the purchase of land around airports or the insulation of buildings. One estimate is that $ 5.7 billion would be required to equip all existing jet engines with noise control devices. However, considering the current state of the art, even taking

37、 this step will not reduce noise levels at all points to acceptable values. Some combination of methods is probably necessary. If all aircraft were made quieter by existing methods, there would be a number of economic benefits. An increase in airport capacity would occur. Property values near airpor

38、ts might rise. Transportation costs to and from airports could be reduced since the airports now could be located closer to population centers. Much research still needs to be done on the economic aspects of noise reduction and noise effects. Although some of the effects of noise pollution are known

39、, more must be discovered about its effects on health, productivity, property values and the quality of life. Furthermore, the exist of noise pollution control to the economy as a whole needs to be investigated. The public must be alerted to the dangers and economic costs of noise so that people may

40、 make intelligent choices and exert appropriate pressures16. There is no jet traffic at Washingtons National Airport from 11 pm to 7 am because _.A. it is extremely dangerous to fly in the darkB. noise regulations restrict the hours of airport operation C. some of its runways are not in good conditi

41、on D. cargo planes produce disturbing noise17. The current state of the art (in Para. 2) _.A. a developed sense of beautyB. the volume of present-day trafficC. the most recently developed technologyD. insulation of air traffic noise18. Noise reduction could lead to _.A. increased airport capacityB.

42、lower property valuesC. effective modification of existing jet enginesD. more transportation costs to and from19. What is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Psychological strain.B. Handling capacity of cargo.C. Measures for noise reductionD. Public pressures.20. The author of the passage is concerned p

43、rimarily _.A. the effects of noise on the quality of lifeB. the role of air traffic restrictionsC. the production of quieter enginesD. the economic aspects of noise reduction.Fast ReadingMy Apple TreeThat June evening I was about ten. As I stood on our front porch, my eye caught an unusual plant, no

44、t more than five inches high. It was the merest seeding, but my father identified it as a young apple tree. Immediately I adopted it. I would transplant it, care for it as my own, and it would bear good apples for me. Dad proposed a spot between the driveway and garden, and that evening he dug up th

45、e sod for me. I planted my little tree there. In my innocence about fruit trees, I did not know that apple trees grown from seedsrather than gifts like the trees in our orchardare often barren or bear only inferior fruit. If my father knew it, he chose not to disturb my optimism.I took a boys care o

46、f my tree, alternately negligent and tenderly attentive. I cheered it no as it slowly prospered in the face of weeds and the regular predations of our workhorse Pearl, who was partial to its taste and tried to snatch a branch whenever she could.Came the years when my tree had a few blossoms but no f

47、ruit. Later I read disquieting news in a high-school textbook: apple seed trees often produce a prehistoric crabbed and wizened apple. Had I only known? Still, it was a nice tree and I was fond of it, so I pruned it by the book. At least it would look good. Then I went off to college and forgot abou

48、t my tree.My back was hardly turned when it began to bearslowly at first, then generously, then extravagantlytasty and versatile apples. They were good for eating and for sauce, superb for drying, and more free of insects and disease than those form our orchard trees.For 35 years now, my tree has po

49、ured forth its nearly flawless bounty. Twenty bushels is nothing for that tree. Every autumn, relatives and neighbors come to shake the branches and bear the surplus fruit away.I had foreseen it all. This perpetual bounty is what I fully expected all those years when I didnt know what I was doing. W

50、ith even a little learning in these matters, I would not have bothered to transplant or tend the tree. It was nurtured on blind faith, and the harvest that was all but inevitable.Comprehension:1. In a June evening, the unusual plant the author found was a young apple tree.2. After planting the apple

51、 tree, the author hoped it could bear apples for him. 3. In fact, apple trees grow from stems. 4. According to the textbook, the apple seed trees can grow well if putting in sand.5. At last, the apple tree bore tasty and versatile apples.III、ClozeThere are 20 blanks in the following passage. For eac

52、h blank there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should choose ONE that best fits into the passage.Nearly three-quarters of the Earth is covered with water. Water heats up more slowly than land, but once it has become warm it takes longer to 1 down. If the Earths surface were entirely l

53、and, the temperature at night would 2 quite quickly and night would be much colder than day, as it is on the moon. This does 3 happen in inland deserts, hundreds of miles from any sea. The climate of the continents, especially in the temperate 4 , is very much affected by the oceans around them. The

54、 areas close to the sea have a maritime climate, 5 rather cool summers and warm winters. The interiors, far from the sea, have a 6 climate with extremely hot summers and cold winters. Rain 7 from the evaporation of rivers, seas and lakes. Even after heavy rain, the pavements in a city do not take lo

55、ng to dry 8 the rainwater evaporates into the air. On a warm dry day it evaporates very rapidly, 9 warm air can take in more moisture than cold air. But at any particular temperature, the 10 can hold only a certain maximum amount of water vapor. The air is then saturated, like a sponge that cannot h

56、old 11 more water. The lower the temperature, the 12 water vapor is required to saturate the air. All over the surface of the Earth, millions of tons of water are 13 every second, condensing in the air into drops so small 14 it takes thousands of them to make a single raindrop. It is these 15 drops

57、that make clouds. When clouds roll in from the sea over the warmer land, they are forced to 16 and become cooler in the colder upper atmosphere. As the air cools down it may pass through its saturation point and 17 some of its water vapor turns to rain. Day in, day out, the 18 water circulates betwe

58、en the air and the land: rivers 19 to make clouds, clouds make rain, rain makes rivers which in turn run into the sea. This is called the rain 20 1.A) holdB) keepC) coolD) let2.A) riseB) missC) loseD) fall3.A) notB) indeedC) onlyD) certainly4.A) fieldsB) centresC) zonesD) interiors5.A) withB) becaus
