Passage2 questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard.
A.Someone who spends a lot of their spare time playing football.
B.Someone who hunts wild animals and birds.
C.Someone who sells shoes and shirts.
D.Someone who is paid for the sport they compete in.
A B C D
D
[解析] 28-30 The word "sports" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About 100 years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play and they are called "professional athletes", or "pros". They may only be pros for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in America earns more than $100,000 a year. The stars earn a lot more. Some international golf and tennis pros can make more than a million dollars a year. Of course, only a few pros can earn much money. But perhaps the most surprising thing about pros and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say "Buy our things." t says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as the pros have." amous pros can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow companies to use their names or photographers and they are paid for this usage. Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time. 28. What is a "pro"?

Passage3 questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 31-34 The "American dream" is an idea that grew from TV programs, books, and stories about family life. The idea began in the 1950s, after World War 2. What was the "dream"? As the first step, families bought or built a comfortable little home in the suburbs. This often meant a long commute to work. Many husbands road the train or drove two hours each day, but this was part of the dream. The husband "wore the pants" in the family. He made the decisions because he went to work, he paid the bills, and he "put" food on the table. Of course, his wife actually cooked the meals! The wife spent her time at home. She took care of the children and kept house. Occasionally she found time for a hobby. According to the dream, everyone was happy with this arrangement. This was the image that people held of the "perfect family." If the husband or wife felt bored or discontented, he or she hid these feelings. 31.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Section A Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three 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 It is hard to get any agreement on the accurate meaning of the term "social class". In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from that which they assume with people they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale. The criteria we use to "place" a new acquaintance ( 熟人), however, are a complex mixture of factors.Dress, way of speaking, area of residence in a given city or province, education and manners all play a part. In Greece, after the sixth-century B. C., there was a growing conflict between the peasants and the landed aristocrats( 贵族), and a gradual decrease in the power of the aristocracy when a kind of "middle class" of traders and skilled workers grew up. The population of Athens, for example, was divided into three main classes which were politically and legally distinct. About one-third of the total were slaves, who did not count politically at all, a fact often forgotten by those who praise Athens as the nursery of democracy. The next main group consisted of resident foreigners, the "metics", who were freemen, though they two were allowed no share in political life. The third group was the powerful body of "citizens", who were themselves divided into sub-classes. In the later Middle Ages, however, the development of monetary economy and the growth of cities and trade led to the rise of another class, the "burghers" or city merchants and mayors. These were the predecessors of the modern middle classes. Gradually high office and occupation assumed importance in determining social position, as it became more and more possible for a person born to one station in life to move to another. This change affected the towns more than the country areas, where remnants of feudalism lasted much longer. With the break-up of the feudal economy, the increasing division of lab our, and the growing power of the town burghers(公民), the commercial and professional middle class became more and more important in Europe, and the older privileged class, the landed aristocracy, began to lose some of its power.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ___________.
A.to define the term social class does not involve much difficulty
B.there is much alternation in people's social classes
C.to evaluate a person' s social class is a very complex procedure
D.we can tell which social class a person belongs to by the way he behaves
Passage 2 It is generally accepted that the experiences of the child in his first years largely determine his character and later personality. Every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. "Upbringing" is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term "education". In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent. The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence(青春期 ) tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development. Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents' capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate abilities of the child. Wide differences of innate intelligence and temperament exist even in children of the same family. Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid(严格的) general rules. They use general information only as a guide in making decisions and solving problems. All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child' s continuing development may be warped. A child must be allowed to enjoy this "messy" but tactile stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.
1. It's a general belief that a child' s later character and personality is _________ decided by his early experiences both at home and in school.
5. As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personality is a series of__________.
Passage 3 It's often hard for those of us who have achieved the status of honoured parent to appreciate quite how spoilt the children of the 1980s are when it comes to TV and films. Anything less than total visual perfection and watch out for trouble as you shuffle out through the doorway marked "EXIT". But we must be firm occasionally, so next time your child observes that, personally, he would have expected a decaying body to have had a somewhat greener colour, seize him by the ear and remind him that when you were young, people used to run out of the cinema crying with terror as a cloth-covered rubber gorilla sat on top of a cardboard skyscraper and snatched balsawood aero planes out of the sky. If any one man may be held responsible for this state of affairs then it must be Tony Dyson, creator of R2D2 in the film The Empire Strikes Back. If it were not for him, then film special effects would still be back in the far-off innocent days of jerky paper dinosaurs. Brian Johnson, who was in charge of the special effects of The Empire Strikes Back, ordered not just one, but eight editions of the robot which was soon to win the hearts of audiences the world over as R2D2. It took the Dyson workshop five months of frantic labor but the order was met in time for the start of the shooting of the film. After the success of R2D2, other film and television work followed; a great deal for the Oxford Scientific Film series of wildlife documentaries. But Tony Dyson has always been an enthusiastic reader of science fiction, ever since childhood, and his old interest soon led him back to robots of one kind or another, and this time to robots for advertising purposes. Phil the robot was designed for Philips domestic appliances and this two-master robot has appeared in children' s TV programmers, in stores up and down the country, at exhibitions as well as in television commercials. Tony has now completed work on Harry, an animated advertising cartoon with a difference in that he holds conversations with his audiences. But his main interest at the moment is the launching on Droid-Factory Ltd’s company set up specially to rent out promotional robots to marketing companies.

Section B Skimming and Scanning Directions: In this section there are four passages with a total of four multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.
Passage 1
1. In Brazil, life moves slowly, and personal relationships are more important than financial success.Social life revolves around friends, relatives, and special occasions, like weddings or communions. People greet each other with a peck on each cheek or a hearty embrace, and being too much on one' s own is seen as abnormal. Business men and women in the cities go home to nearby apartments for lunch. Shops close from noon to 2 : 00 p. m. so the family can be together. No one feels a need to always be "on time", and people get there when they get there. The important thing is to enjoy life.It can be concluded that Brazilians place a high value on _________.
1. No one knows for sure why the crime rate is soaring. Crime is a problem that affects everyone in the United States. A great deal of thought and research has been devoted to finding out the reasons for the rise in crime. One theory is that there are too many rewards for the criminal in our society and too few incentives to do honest work. Hence, many intelligent and able young people pursue a career of crime because they consider it the quickest way to get what they want. If, in fact, it is the fastest and easiest manner of making a living, we must make crime less desirable and work more attractive. Another viewpoint is that most crime is a result of economic and social conditions. These conditions affect men and women who have no opportunity to advance their economic status. They are without hope in a society that promises an equal chance for everyone.The passage is mainly concerned with __________.
A.crime
B.the rise in crime
C.the reasons for the rise in crime
D.a society that promises an equal chance for everyone
A B C D
C

Passage 4
1. Anyone who spends at least one semester in college notices that some students give up on their classes. The person who sits behind you in accounting, for example, begins to miss a lot of class meetings and eventually vanishes. Or another student comes to class without the assignment, doodles in his notebook during the lecture, and leaves during the break. What's the difference between students like this and the ones who succeed in school7 My survey may be non-scientific, but everyone I asked said the same thing: attitude. A positive attitude is the key to everything else-good study habits, smart time scheduling, and coping with personal difficulties. What does "a positive attitude" mean? It means not only showing up for your classes, but also doing something while you' re there. Really listen. Take notes. Ask a question if you want to. Don' t just walk into a class, put your mind in neutral, and drift away to never-never land. Having a positive attitude goes deeper than this, though. It means being mature about college as an institution. Too many students approach college classes like six-year-olds who expect first grade to be as much fun as Sesame Street. First grade, as we all know, isn't as much fun as Sesame Street. And college classes can sometimes be downright dull and boring. If you let a boring class discourage you so much that you want to leave school, you'll lose in the long run. Look at your priorities. You want a degree, or a certificate, or a career. If you have to, you can make it through a less-than-interesting class in order to achieve what you want. Get whatever you can out of every class. But if you simply can' t stand a certain class, be determined to fulfill its requirements and be done with it once and for all.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Some students just give up on their classes.
B.One student may miss classes and then vanish.
C.The author's survey may be unscientific.
D.A positive attitude is the key to success in college.

[解析] 在这种时候，不同种类的新闻互相竞争，也就是来自报纸、电视和收音机的新闻与小道消息相竞争。 [命题宗旨]名词复数理解。 [详细解答]有一类不可数名词，加上复数后缀-s后，意义有所变化，例：water(水)，waters(水域)；snow(雪)；snows(积雪)，此处times是“时代”的意思，而且，上句中“In times of stress and confusion”。也提示我们这儿应用times。
Section B Translation from English to Chinese Directions:In this section, there are five sentences which you should translate into Chinese. When you! Translate; you should make it accurate and logic.
1. S1. Broadcasters who think that TV has had a more positive influence point out that TV is not such an overpowering medium as it is usually believed to be.
2. S2. And they encourage the children in the school to express themselves more freely by learning to operate the camera, which tells a story without the use of words.
3. S3.There are lots of examples of it in my house. Even though my mum does a full-time job, and nearly all the housework, she' s not allowed a checkbook of her own.
这方面的例子在我家不胜枚举。尽管母亲干有一份正式工作，还包揽了几乎全部家务，但母亲却没权支配钱。
[解析] 意译法。 [翻译点评]losts of"许多”这里译为“不胜枚举”，逐字翻译是最蹩脚的翻译，更谈不上“技巧”可言；a check book of her own理解原意后进行意译“支配钱”，就比直译更让人接受。
4. S4. Many English people live in high buildings, but it is true to say that few people are happy in them.
许多英国人居住在高楼内，但可以肯定地说没有几个人愿意住高楼。
[解析] 固定结构译法；意译法。 [翻译点评]It is true to say + that从句这种结构一般译为“可以肯定地说……”，而不是机械地把to引导的动词不定式放在主语的位置先译；“happy in them”如直译为“在他们中不高兴”，显然词不达意，改为“愿意住”，就把原文所要表达的思想内容真实反映出来了。
5. S5. A man of fifty or so might say, "Why should a young fellow straight out of school earn more than I do?" But if the young fellow is more able, more determined, harder-working than his middle-aged critic, why shouldn’t' he?
[解析] 转译法；添译法。 [翻译点评]“middle-aged critic”若译为“中年批评者”，则显得生硬，文诌诌，若把前面形容词转译为名词，后面名词转译为形容词，“爱挑剔的中年人”则口语地道得多。Why shouldn’t he?若译为“为什么不呢?”看了之后感到不知所云，感觉到话还没说完。添译法就是根据意义的需要，增加原文虽无其词而有其意的一些词，使译文意思明确，读起来也比较通顺自然，符合汉语习惯。同时，本文中将a young fellow译为“愣头青”或“毛头小伙”可谓更传神。英语和汉语中都存在口语和书面语的形式，口语对译口语，书面语对译书面语，保持了原作的修辞风味。

So some people judge that English teaching at colleges is a total failure. If that is the case, where do the problems lie in? First of all, English teaching at college is, to a great extent, teacher-centered. It is still very common in the classroom that the teacher explains every language point in detail, while students take notes all the time. Secondly, culture is neglected in English teaching. Students are busy memorizing a large vocabulary as well as a lot of English rules, yet few students know how, when and where to use them. Finally, over-emphasis on the test misleads college English teaching in China. For the sake of test results, teachers teach to the test and students learn to pass examinations, leaving behind students' actual language competence. In conclusion, China college English teaching is to be reformed. Students should be centered, culture should be introduced in language teaching, and examination should be dealt with appropriately.
