III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points each)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
No one in my family could believe Allegra had any disability, much less one as severe as hers. To them a disability was physical, something you could see. They knew her as a happy, normal child. That's how it is with a learning disability -you don't see obvious physical symptoms.
But as she grew out of preschool, she would pretend to read-I knew she was pretending because the book was upside down. She withdrew into her own world where she could fantasize about being a ballet dancer, a Broadway actress or a figure skater. In the real world, ballet classes and music lessons led only to confusion, frustration and, ultimately, disappointment.
As for school, there was no way she could be included in a mainstream classroom. I went through every special school in New York, only to be told over and over: &She doesn't belong here.& The last blow came a few months after the diagnosis, when I was at a pay phone on 72nd Street, waiting for an answer from the very last school on my list. Finally a cold voice came on-I can still hear it-and said: &I'm sorry, but we feel this isn't the place for her.& I hung up and stared at the phone in tears.
I had lived my life as the daughter of Henry Ford II, and for the first time in my life I faced a problem that neither money nor position could solve. I nearly gave up, but I knew I couldn't. Without me, my daughter stood no chance of making it.
21 .According to the first paragraph, Allegra's problem was &&&&_ .
A. psychological&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. obvious&&&&&&&&&&&& C. physical&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. invisible
22. Allegra was disabled in that&&& _.
A. she was unable to learn like a normal child
B. she was always reading with her book upside down
C. she isolated herself from other children in her class
D. she was living in her dreams in conflict with the real world
23 .The expression &a mainstream classroom&(para. 3) refers, to&&& _.
A. the last blow&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. the last school
C. special schools&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. normal education
24. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that&&& _.
A. the author would ask Henry Ford II for help
B. the author would continue to help her daughter
C. the author would leave New York for the sake of her daughter
D. the author had to use money or position to deal with the problem
25.The phrase &making it& (para. 4) probably means&&& _.
A. becoming a figure skater&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. becoming a ballet dancer
C. becoming successful&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. getting proper treatment
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Contrary to what many people believe, highly intelligent children are not necessarily bound to have an academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well because they are unusually smart. Ensuring that a gifted child reaches his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely bright young people.
One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place too much importance on being smart. Such an emphasis can breed a belief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform poorly when the work gets harder because they do not make the effort to learn. In some cases, they may not know how to study, having never done it before. In others, they simply cannot accept the fact that some tasks require effort.
If the scholastic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential. As a result, such students may not get the encouragement they need, and may further be depressed to learn. They may fall far behind in their schoolwork and even develop behavior problems. Boys may turn aggressive or become class clowns(小丑).Girls often develop performance anxiety and other symptoms such as stomachaches.
One way to avoid such difficulties is to recognize that IQ is just one of the elements for success. Children do well or struggle in school for a host of reasons apart from IQ, according to psychologist Franz Monks of the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. These include motivation and persistence, social competence, and the support of family, educators and friends. Emphasizing the importance of persistence and hard work, for example, will help a child avoid the laziness trap. Gifted children also need intellectual challenges-to teach them how to work hard.
26. According to the first paragraph, the author believes that&&& _.
A. intelligent students may fail to do well in their schoolwork
B. gifted students are too smart to do well in their schoolwork
C. intelligent students are bound to succeed in their schoolwork
D. gifted students understand what can go wrong and how to learn
27. When too much emphasis is placed on students' intelligence, people are likely to take it for granted that&&& _.
A. smart students may not do well in the lower grades
B. intelligent students know how to avoid laziness trap
C. clever students require more intelligence than hard work
D. bright students may succeed even if they do not work hard
28. It is observed in the third paragraph that&&& _.
A. highly gifted students show a great desire to learn
B. highly gifted students tend to fall ill with no reason
C. highly intelligent students also need encouragement
D. highly intelligent students score higher than average students
29. According to the author, a student's IQ is&&& _.
A. one of the factors of success
B. the only factor for his success
C. directly related to persistence
D. closely associated with competence
30. This passage aims to tell people about&&& _.
A. the academic performance of gifted students
B. the proper attitudes toward gifted students
C. the difficulties in recognizing gifted students
D. the motivation students need for their studies
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Mars Global Surveyor is the oldest of five NASA robotic devices, which is designed to find out signs that M and it had been taking detailed pictures of the red planet for a decade. Unfortunately, it stopped working on November 2 after it developed a motor problem.
After two days of silence, ground control teams received a signal that the device had put itself into an emergency standby mode. There was no information about what had gone wrong. Since then, the mission team at NASA's laboratory in California has tried to contact the device. This week, NASA engineers are preparing for what may be their last chance to recover the spacecraft.
NASA plans to use a newly arrived device to take a picture of the Surveyor to see how the failed craft is oriented to the sun for power and to Earth for communications. It is reported that the picture will be taken on Friday when the satellites are about 93 miles apart. The new high-powered camera should be able to image details of the Surveyor as small as about 10 centimeters. There is a good chance of recovering it.
Flight controllers also plan to try to get the Surveyor to contact one or both of NASA's roving(漫游)geology stations, Spirit and Opportunity, which are located on opposite sides o. Mars'equator(赤道).The rovers would not be able to transmit the spacecraft'5 science data, but engineers at least would get an idea of its general position. The linkup also could show if the Surveyor still has power. If the device has been unable to charge its batteries due to a positioning problem or failed component, it could run out of power with no hope of recovering. But if it has power, the device is quite capable of autonomous control even if it doesn't hear from Earth. The Surveyor has far surpassed its design lifetime, but scientists still have more targets for the probe's camera and science instruments.
31.&&&& The main task of Mars Global Surveyor is&&& _.
A. to take pictures of the red planet
B. to work out the problems of its motor
C. to find out if there was water on Mars
D. to find the causes of the failure in the device
32. The newly arrived device&&& _.
A. is equipped with a powerful camera
B. checks the signs for water on the red planet
C. carries new components for the failed device
D. examines the surveyor's communication system
33. The last chance for NASA's engineers to recover the Surveyor might be&&& _.
A. to charge its batteries&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. to adjust its position
C. to test its communication system&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. to use the new device to image it
34. The decisive factor for the recovery of the Surveyor is&&& _.
A. its life&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. its orbit&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C. its power&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. its position
35. The passage is most probably taken from&&& _.
A. a book review&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. a news report
C. an advertisement&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&D. a science fiction tale

Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the classroom, but in the classroom they play the role of an instructor. A professor may have coffee with students one day but the next day he may expect them to meet a deadline for a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor may give extra attention, outside of class, to a student in need of help, but probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating academic work. Professors have several roles in
they may be counselors and friends as well as teachers. Students must realize that when a teacher's role changes, they should change their behavior and attitude accordingly.

Ms. Martha Weston
Word Processing Supervisor
ABC Company
Post Office Box 1072
28 King's Street London
Dear Ms. Weston.
Performance of the Cpt Equipment
I'm Pleased to tell you about our experience with the CPT Word Processor as you requested recently&& &&example && && I assume you have looked at several machines and have narrowed down your choices. Here are my observations.
An approach to adopting word processors
Eighteen months ago we adopted CPT equipment on limited scale with the idea in mind that we could gradually get rid of electric typewriters as we became familiar with the word processor. && 8 &&The stations are actually in pairs so each pair can share a common printer&& 9&&
We use the equipment as dedicated word processors, although we do have the ability to link up with our computer installation.
The step-at-a-time development of our word-processing center has, we think, saved us money and training time. &&10&&
Performance
In terms of performance , the CPT equipment is excellent. && &&11&& &&Moreover our service contract and warranty have covered all maintenance costs.
We have software packages that check spelling and signal when a mistake occure. && 12 &&Using both printers , we recently prepared 1200 individually typed form letter mailings a under four hours. We have no complaint about our preparation of executive reports.
Example: I
A So it works very well and has so many different functions.
B Also it has reduced the confusion that exists about buying software packages .
C The train stops at each station for only fifteen minutes.
D We began with two work stations and now have four.
E Our routine letters are prepared from disc-stored masters.
F The Rotary W printer with a speed of 45 characters a second can easily handle two input stations.
G In contrast ,its size and weight are ideal for carrying.
H We have not yet experienced mechanical problems so far.
I We are pleased with its performance and multi-functions.

  A picture in today's newspaper shows the body of a shark hanging with its head down. A scale is measuring it&#160;&#160; 11&#160;&#160;&#160; . The lines below the picture&#160;&#160; 12&#160;&#160;&#160; that the shark is a very big one.It is perhaps one of the biggest ever caught in the area. The person who brought in the fish looks extremely&#160;&#160; 13&#160;&#160; .He had won a battle&#160;&#160;&#160; 14&#160;&#160;&#160; one of nature's fiercest creatures.
  Some people,&#160;&#160; 15&#160;&#160; , do not approve of catching sharks. They do not think all sharks are terrifying enemies.They&#160;&#160; 16&#160;&#160;&#160; that some snakes threaten people more than sharks do .Scientists say that sharks are&#160;&#160; 17&#160;&#160; in the ocean.

  III .Reading Comprehension (30 points,2 points each)
  从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
  Passage One
  Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
  Some multimedia companies predict that, in a few years' time, production of newspapers and magazines will have been halved, for we will he turning to our computers to get the latest news. To publishers, this means the arrival of the e-book.
  But is this the end of the book and the newspaper? I doubt it. I do not think anything can replace the book. This is partly because, although some people believe that technology is capable of anything, it isn't yet! To begin with, the Internet is slow. Even though work is constantly being carried out to solve this problem, demand for the Internet is increasing too fast for scientists to keep up. What is more, it takes much longer for us to read on the computer. Research shows that we read 50% more quickly on paper than on a computer screen.
  In addition, it seems that we like the feel of books and magazines-we like to put them in our bags or pockets and take them out on the bus or the train on the way to work. We like to sit and read in the park or on the beach. For many of us, the idea of Sunday morning without a cup of coffee and some newspapers is unimaginable.
  We like to decorate our rooms with them, too .How many of us would exchange what we have now-a row of books in a bookcase, or a pile of magazines on the coffee table-for a row of little screens?
  Nevertheless, by the time e-books have become as widely available as printed ones, it is likely that at least some of us will have changed our minds.
  21 .According to some multimedia companies, production of newspapers and magazines&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; .
  A. will be reduced by half
  B .has been reduced by half
  C .will be increased by 50%
  D .has been increased by 50%
  22.According to the passage, people read&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; .

  Passage Two
  Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

But when the same guests discover that Debbie is a housewife, they suddenly remember conversations they desperately need to have on the other side of the room. They treat Debbie like an absolute zero.
  Finally, the host turns to Debbie with questions about her life and future plans. She tries hard, but cannot come up with any definite answers. Finally, he asks in an annoyed tone, "What do you intend to do with your life?"
  "I'm mostly trying to get orientated."
  "The word should be oriented(寻找方向)。Learn to use the English language!"
  Debbie feels hurt. She decides not to live in anyone else's shadow. She will find something of her own to do. But what? What Debbie had always loved doing was making chocolate chip cookies. She had experimented with recipes(配方) since she was 13 years old-adding more butter, less flour, more and different kinds of chocolate until she hit upon an ideal combination, Now, she has this idea. She will open up a little store and sell her cookies.
  "Bad idea,"Randy's business friends say, their mouths full of cookies."It'll never work."They shake their heads as they lick the last bits of chocolate from their fingers. "Forget it." Randy feels the same way. So do the loan officers she approaches for financing. But she sets her heart on her cookie business.
  At 9:00 a.m. on August 18,1977,Debbie opened her cookie shop.But nobody came to buy her cookies.By noon she was desperate.

Once people tried the cookies, they loved them and came back to the shop for more. By the end of the day, she had sold $50 worth. On day two, she took in $75.The rest is cookie history.

  Passage Three
  Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
  There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process.People generally look upon personal growth as a result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language一一all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
  By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles.In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, and new challenges to accept.
  In order to grow and travel new roads, people need to be willing to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may fail at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of life is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we are shy? Then our shyness can cause us to hesitate, to act more slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we are slow to adapt to changes o.r that we are not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
  These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. However, if we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts and if we protect ourselves too much, we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
