Passage 1 A question often put to the specialist on fishes is "How long do fishes live?" This puts the specialist in an embarrassing position because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question. But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it. We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone. We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span. Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.

A.size
B.life span

[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 由文中第一段第二句的“...because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.”和第二段中的“There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span.”可推知，这个问题没有确切的答案，因此D为正确答案。
3. We can know a fish's age from its ______.
A.weight
B.size
C.scales
D.length
A B C D
C
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 由文中第三段第一句“We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales...”可知，C为正确答案。

Passage 2 When young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world. Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is. While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.
1. The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world because ______.
A.they were not well educated at school
B.what they learn in university classes is not adequate for their new life
C.the society is too complicated to adapt to
D.they failed to work hard at school
A B C D
B
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 本文第一段前几句作者就描述了刚毕业的年轻人会在工作中感到迷茫、不适应等，接着又在最后一句"Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations...”给出了出现这种情况的原因，即：大学课程不能为工作中的各种情况都做好准备。选项中只有B项是对本句的完整诠释。
2. The underlined word "arise" in Para. 1 means ______.
A.come into being
B.bring about
C.go up
D.cause to happen
A B C D
A
[考点] 词语理解题 [解析] 分析arise所在的语境可知，that从句是修饰先行词为the different situations的定语从句。由此可推出此句意为“在工作中出现的各种情况”。故arise意为“形成，出现”。所以A项正确。
3. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is ______.
A.to find a worker and follow him closely
B.to find a person you respect and see how he acts in different situations
C.to find a person you admire and make friends with him
D.to make the acquaintance of a model you admire
A B C D
B
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 文章第二段第一句“Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.”指出，学习在工作中如何表现得最好的途径是找到一位你敬佩的人，并且观察他的行为。又由接下来作者举例学习他在危机中的表现和他处理日常事务的方法可知，最好途径的完整表述应为：找到一位你敬佩的人，并且观察他在不同情况下的表现。故选B项。
4. The purpose of this writing is ______.
A.to offer career guide to young people
B.to tell young people the importance of the first job
C.to instruct young people how to communicate with people
Passage 3 To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B. C.. We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun-shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade, and the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Age, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.

Passage 4 A credit card can be useful. You can take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you want. All you have to do is to sign your name and take what you want out of the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cards—they can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poison we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest. The interest is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger. Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are "overextended". That is, they have more debts on their credit cards than they can pay. Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals. For some credit card users, a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using credit cards.

A.They may be very poisonous.
B.They may carry harmful insects.
C.They may cause financial troubles.

3. What happens to a credit card user if he fails to pay each month according to the passage?
A.He will pay a bill with interest charged.
B.He will be dismissed by the company.
C.He will be charged as a criminal.
D.He will be accused of cheating.
A B C D

4. The sentence "Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are 'overextended'" in Paragraph Four probably means ______.
A.the majority of American families have to pay off debts with their cards
B.a great number of American families will no longer use credit cards

D.we should use cash instead of credit cards

The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Many people have discovered that hobbies can be profitable as well as fun. Some people have fine collections of bottles, flags, stamps or even match boxes. Painting, writing and taking photographs are examples of hobbies that may become occupations." Every writer, artist and photographer probably started as a hobbyist before becoming a professional. Many doctors believe that hobbies help to make our lives more enjoyable. They believe that people who raise fish or collect records are too busy to spend their time worrying. Doctors also think that an active person, such as a baseball player, should have a restful hobby such as reading, while a person who sits at a desk all day should have a lively hobby such as tennis, golf or swimming. Most people in the United States agree with the doctors. It is difficult to find an American who does not have a favorite hobby.

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. To different people, the word "ideal" may mean different things. 1 To some, it may mean success and fame in their career; to others, a peaceful life. 2 Very often, we have ideals for the self but no ideals for the society. In my opinion, a youth should have ideals. 3 But these ideals are not merely centered on the self; they should also be the ones for the majority of people. Then we would get strength and confidence towards life. 4 The setting up of an ideal means that real and concrete action should be taken. For us students, the most important thing is to study. 5 Sometimes, in striving toward our ideals, we may encounter certain difficulties and failures, but we should not give up hope. 6 We will never lose heart if our ideals are the wish of the many!
1.
在一些人看来，理想可能意味着事业上的成功和荣誉；在另一些人看来，理想可能意味着平静的生活。
[解析] 本句注意to some(在一些人看来)和to others(在另一些人看来)的对比翻译。a peace life前省略了和前面分句相同的部分it may mean。
2.
我们常常有自我理想，却没有社会理想。
[解析] 状语very often在英语中为了表示强调而前置，在译成汉语时应后置。ideal意为“理想”，ideals for the self意为“自我理想”；ideals for the society意为“社会理想”。
3.
但是这理想不能仅仅以自我为中心。
[解析] 本句是个简单句，注意be centered on意为“以……为中心”即可。
4.
树立理想意味着采取实际具体的行动。
[解析] 本句是个复合句，that引导一个宾语从句，作动词mean的宾语。real and concrete action should be taken是个被动句，翻译时可依据汉语习惯译成主动句。
[解析] if引导一个条件状语从句，意为“如果”。our ideals are the wish of the many意为“我们的理想正是大多数人的愿望”。
