Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh birthday that her father thought his daughter should give one or two of her new books to a little neighbor boy named Robert. Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. “After all, that leaves you with nine,” said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist and couldn’t shut his big stupid mouth on the subject. A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up “father” in the Oxford English Dictionary to feast his eyes on the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn’t find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too. A-B, L-M, V-Z. He began to search his household and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes. “A man came to the door this morning,” said his little daughter, “and he didn’t know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine.”
21. How does the writer feel about taking picture books from a little girl? A. This sort of thing is quite common. B. It makes no difference to a child. C. It’s nothing to be surprised at . D. It may hurt the girl’s feelings.
22. In the second paragraph “the father…had his way” means ________. A. the father went out to work B. the father made his own decision C. the father left his daughter alone D. the father did what he wanted
23. Which of the following sentences may best reflect the girl’s attitude toward her father? A. “A man came to the door this morning.” B. “He was a nice man, much nicer than Robert.” C. “After all, that leaves you with nine.” D. “I gave him four of your books.”
24. What does the writer think of the father? A. He was very strict with his daughter. B. He was too proud to listen to his daughter. C. As a child psychologist, he didn’t understand his daughter’s psychology very well. D. As a father, he showed little care for his daughter.
25. This short story tells us that ________. A. failure is the mother of success B. what you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others C. we should put others first and ourselves last D. everything is hard in the beginning
Passage 2 What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself. In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are
better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.
26. This passage tells us that ________. A. telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated B. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest C. telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings D. telling lies is not bad at all in most cases
27. In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably means ________. A. women are better at telling lies than men B. women liars are better accepted than men C. women have a better intention when telling lies D. women tell fewer lies than men do
28. A “white lie” means ________. A. a lie that is completely unbelievable B. a lie that is told with a good will C. a lie that is always believable D. a lie that often has an evil purpose 29. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies ________. A. from which they may gain some advantages B. that seems to be believable C. that women are most likely to believe D. with which they can have better relationship with others
30. It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A. there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying B. from some ways people behave we can know they are lying C. certain emotions are proof of lying D. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest
Passage 3 Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.
Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known 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 33-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. But the most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”
It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.
“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems.
“However they will have a sense of isolation”, warns Dr Coles, “and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given
the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Today’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.
31. In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _______. A. there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family B. rich children live a life of separation from the world C. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children D. the quality of rich children’s family life may not be high
32. In the doctor’s view, _______. A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich B. traveling a lot will be beneficial to children C. rich children usually have little confidence in themselves D. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Rich children usually lead a life of happiness. B. Rich children have earned what they have. C. Rich children tend to feel isolated. D. Rich children are hardly given too many material things.
34. According to the author of the passage, _______. A. life is really a long journey of joy for rich children B. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents C. it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money D. today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring
35. It seems that the author of the passage _______ what Dr. Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”. A. knows little about B. is doubtful about C. is opposed to D. agrees with
Passage 4 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values — this can’t be repeated too often — are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car. It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
36. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______. A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives
B. social services have nothing to do with very old people C. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom D. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean
37. Some social workers think that _______. A. health and safety are more important than personal freedom B. personal freedom is more important than health and safety C. old people should keep their rooms clean D. one should not take risks dealing with old people
38. In the author’s opinion, ______. A. the human body can’t be compared to a car B. the older a person is, the more care he needs C. too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values D. it is easy to provide spare parts for old people
39. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______. A. the conclusion you have come to B. whether age is happy or unpleasant C. your talk to the old people D. one’s money or one’s health 40. The author thinks that _______. A. medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors B. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich C. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful D. it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death

Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.
Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦).
(51)Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (52) So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
(53)Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard MedicalSchool. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
(54)But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
(55)“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

21. D【解析】从第二段第一句可知作者认为拿走小女孩的书就像拿走小宝宝的糖果，这样的举动会伤害小女孩的情感，所以选择D。选项B：对小孩不会有任何影响，是父亲对女儿的想法，而不是作者的看法。
22. D【解析】从第二段第一句的后半句可推断爸爸拿走了小女孩的两本书并把它们送给了罗伯特。所以选择D“爸爸做了他想做的事”即把书送给了罗伯特。
23. C【解析】A、B、D均为小女孩送给陌生人书的理由，只有C是送书的结果，因此只有C选项可以表明小女孩对待她爸爸的态度。
24. C【解析】A、B、D选项所给的信息均未在原文体现。只有C所给信息“作为儿童心理学家，他并不是很理解他女儿的心理。”与原文符合。
25. B【解析】此题综合全文可得出B“已所不欲，勿施于人”正确。其它选项意思分别为A“失败是成功之母”；C“先人后已”；D“万事开头难”。
26. C【解析】第一段作者举的例子，可以得出C“有时为了不伤害其他人的感情说谎是必须的”正确。其它选项的信息在文中没有明确出现。
27. C【解析】从第二段作者举例可知女人更爱说“white lie”，即善意的谎言，而男人更有可能说一些严重的谎话。所以C选项“女人说谎时有较好的意图”符合原文。A选项说的太笼统，女人仅在说“white lie”时比男人擅长，而说“serious lie”则不及男人；B、D选项所给信息并未在文中出现。
28. B【解析】“white lie”的意思是善意的谎言，从文中第二段女人说谎所举的例子也可以推断出B选项“带有善意所说的谎”为正确答案。
29. A【解析】第二段最后一句“政治家和商人尤其擅长说这种谎话，即可从这些谎言中赚钱或获利。”而A选项“他们或许可以从中赢得一些好处”与之相一致。
30. B【解析】第三段第一句“对人们行为举止的研究表明：当人们说谎时，会以大量不起眼的、表面上不重要的方式改变自己的举止”为主题句，文章所得出的结论为B选项“从人们的一些行为举止，我们能够知道他们在说谎”，与主题句相一致。
31. D【解析】从第二段“他的研究显示，家里太有钱带来的问题与太缺钱带来的问题一样多。很明显，富有会带来一定的优势，…… 但是重要的是家庭生活的质量，钱买不来爱。”可推断出“富裕家庭孩子的家庭生活质量不一定就高”，D选项符合题意。
32. A【解析】第二、三段作者说明了富裕家庭带给孩子的一些不足之处, 第四段作者列举了
一些advantages及disadvantages to being rich，可见A选项“有钱既有优势也有不足之处”符合文中观点。B、C、D选项的信息与原文不一致。
33. C【解析】从第四段“However, they will have a sense of isolation.”可以判断C正确。 34. C【解析】从文章最后一段中“So the first thing … in money.”这一结论句可得出C“对于富有的父母，确定家庭的爱和财富一样富有是非常重要的”符合原文结论。
35. D【解析】 作者在行文的最后得出结论：保证家人在爱和财富上同样富有是最重要的。Dr. Coles在《特权阶层》一书中的观点是：财富可以给人在很多方面带来优势，但最重要的是家庭生活质量。金钱买不来爱。因此，作者和Dr. Coles的观点一致。
36. C【解析】从第一段中的“But is it interfering …care of ?”可知与此信息相对应的C选项“上年纪的人宁愿独自生活，以便可以享受更多的自由。”正确。A、B、C选项所给信息与原文相悖，故错误。
37. A【解析】从第一段最后一句话可知一些社会工作者认为把个人自由与老年人的健康与安全等同是危险的，从而可推断出A选项（他们认为“健康与安全比个人的自由更重要）符合题意。
38. A 【解析】尽管在第二段中出现了“The body is like… older.”但从第一句主题句 “Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed.”和后面文中 “But…”语气的转折可以分析出人的身体不能像汽车一样说换个零件就轻松地换掉，所以A选项正确。

40. C【解析】作者从老年人的“personal free”与 “health, safety”入手论述“health, safety”是否重要，又进而分析老年人的健康、生命的延续无法同汽车更换零件一样简单，最终得出结论，对老年人真正重要的不是金钱或健康而是是否有能够快乐的能力，所以与此观点相符合的C选项正确。 Part III Cloze
41. B【解析】考查固定搭配on the other hand另一方面。 42. C【解析】present展现，介绍。用过去分词表示被动。
43. D【解析】词义辨析。affect指（在某方面）引起变化，影响，特别指在坏的方面产生的影响。指对身体、健康的影响常用affect；对思想、决定上的影响常用influence。effect作为名词时意为“效果，作用”，作动词时意为“产生，引起（=bring about）；实现，完成”。 44. A 【解析】but表示转折，因为前半句是don’t recommend不建议，而后半句是do recommend强烈建议，因此but引出与前面相反的内容。otherwise否则；nevertheless尽管如此；然而。
