The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)25  task, as the professor had said they could bring  26  books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not  27  each other during the test.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody finished 33 .” But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I  34,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 35 many things about the   36 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday  37 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 38  this course, but remember--even though you are now college graduates, your education had just  39  .”

第三部分:阅读理解

第一节(共18小题;每小题2分,满分36分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called Beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.

  At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused Beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.

  Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.

41. The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. a medical treatment              B. a kind of vitamin

C. a kind of germ                  D. a kind of rice

42. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.

A. spend his holiday

B. find ways to grow better crops

C. do some research about the island

D. help the Javanese with their illness

43. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?

A. To eat them.                   B. To carry out his experiments.

C. To give the Javanese a surprise.    D. To make money by selling them.

44. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ____.

A. eat more rice                   B. eat more meat

C. eat some chicken                D. eat vitamin pills

45. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Beri was caused by chickens

B. the Javanese didn’t like vitamins

C. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful

D. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ

 

 

  America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

  Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

   Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice(惯例) in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine(常规). They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

   For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

46. The writer of this passage must be ______.

A. an American    B. a Chinese    C. a professor    D. a student

47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

48. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.

A. warmly welcomed at the airport     

B. offered a ride to his home

C. treated hospitably at his home       

D. treated to dinner in a restaurant

49. The underlined words  “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.

A. strict with time     B. serious with time

C. careful with time   D. willing to spend time

50. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

A. Friendships between Chinese   

B. Friendships between Americans

C. Americans’ hospitality        

D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships

 

 

                  To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

  Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

  The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.

  A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

  I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

51. What is the text about ?

A. How to become a good teacher.

B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.

C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.

D. The similarities and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s.

52. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ .

A. students                        B. people who watch a play

C. people who not on the stage        D. people who listen to something

53. A good teacher ____ .

A. knows how to hold the interest of his students

B. must have a good voice

C. knows how to act on the stage  

D. stands or sits still while teaching

54. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ?

A. The teacher must learn everything by heart .

B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor .

C. He has to deal with unexpected situations .

D. He has to use more facial expressions .

55. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.

A. students can move around in the classroom

B. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t

C. no memory work is needed for the students

D. the students must take part in their teachers’ plays

 

 

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

         根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(答案填写在第二卷指定地方)

56     You don’t need to admire those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

      57     When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you; when you get success, people will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you; and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy.     58    If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

   Happiness is not the same as money.     59     When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly that you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door.     60   If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

A.All these are your happiness.

B.Without money, we can live a happy life.

C.Happiness is for everyone.

D.She has no chance to go to school.

 E.It is a feeling of your heart.

F.You are happy when you help a helpless man.

G.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.
